Message to the system log

When Content Manager OnDemand determines that the index data required to complete a query has been migrated to archive storage, it saves a message in the system log. An administrator can open the System Log folder to search for and display messages in the system log.

Content Manager OnDemand also sends a message to /dev/console (UNIX servers) or the Event log (Windows servers) and the system log user exit. If you provide a user-written program to be invoked by the system log user exit, you can configure the system to examine the message and send an alert to an administrator or call another program to take some action.

If you do not use some other facility that routes messages to an administrator or another program (such as the Tivoli® system management console), you should provide a user-written program to process the message. The function of the program can vary, however at a minimum, the program should notify a system administrator when a query for migrated index data occurs.
