Examining error messages
You can examine the error messages that are generated during program operation to help resolve problems that might occur.
If it is set, the IBM Storage Protect client QUIET option suppresses the display of all messages in screen output. However, all messages are still logged in the log files. Turning off the QUIET option might facilitate troubleshooting operations because you can see the messages on screen, as they occur.
Look for any ANSnnnnx messages
that are issued to the console. Messages are also logged. Scheduler
messages are logged in the dsmsched.log file.
Client messages are logged in the dsmerror.log file.
Descriptions of the messages and API return codes are provided in Messages, return codes, and error codes. Online
help is also available for system messages. To get online help for
a message when you are using the command-line client, type HELP ANS_nnnnx,
where nnnn is the message number and x is
the message type.
