Template File Tips

The following list contains other helpful tips about the error record templates:

• Template files use message-file path names without drive letters. You must ensure the following:

  • you place the message files in the proper directory
    
  • you place the directory in the DPATH statement of CONFIG.SYS
    
  • the template entries in the file point to the proper message file.
  
  The message resource files (xxx.mes) that are specified in the templates are created by using MKMSGF. You install these files on the system during product installation.
  
  The error logging facility directly accesses the error record template files to find error messages, causes of the error, and corresponding recovery actions in various message files. The system stores this information in a file in the form of message identifier numbers and message file path names.
