CAE logs

The logs produced by the CAE server, CAE agent, and CAE browser clients enable you to diagnose and troubleshoot problems.

CAE log size and retention limits

When a log exceeds 10MB in size, a new log is created. Only the most recent 32 logs are retained.

Description of CAE logs

CAE server log
The CAE server log is located on the windows workstation where the CAE server is running. Locate the folder in which the CAE server is installed. Inside that folder is another entitled "logs" that holds the CAE server logs. The CAE server log has a name of the form cqm_srvr_yyyy-mm-dd-hh-MM.log, for example, cqm_srvr_2011-01-20-16-34.log.
Note:
  • If the CAE server is installed on USS, the server log is generated in the location defined in your sites CQMCAESV JCL. For example, the following line in the sample JCL (SCQMSAMP library member CQMCAESV) can be customized to define the location of the CAE server log on USS:
    //STDOUT   DD PATH='/u/username/cqm/logs/cae_server.log',
  • If the CAE server is installed on USS, it only keeps the five most recent logs (including the current log).
  • If you customize the STDOUT DD statement, CQM_LOGS must use the same path, for example:
    CQM_LOGS=/u/username/cqm/logs
CAE agent log
Log information generated by the CAE agent goes to SYSOUT. CQMC*E messages are sent to SYSOUT and WTO.
