SNA error log

The SNA error log can help your support organization diagnose problems.

The default installation log locations are:

UNIX and Linux:

Platform Server log location Client log location
IBM® AIX® /var/sna/sna.err /var/sna/sna.err
HP-UX /var/opt/sna/sna.err /var/opt/sna/sna.err
Linux® /var/opt/ibm/sna/sna.err /var/opt/ibm/sna/sna.err
Solaris /var/opt/sna/sna.err /var/opt/sna/sna.err

If you are using an IBM Remote API Client for Windows to communicate with an IBM Communications Server on UNIX or Linux, the default location for the SNA Client log is C:\IBMCS\w32cli\sna.err.

The user who starts the Client daemon must have the authority to write to the SNA error log. The IBM Communications Server for Linux uses /var/log/warn if the user does not have authority to write to the SNA error log.

Windows:

Product Log location
IBM Communications Server API client C:\IBMCS\w32cli\sna.err
IBM Communications Server C:\IBMCS\PCWMSG.MLG
