What can I do with this system value?
You can specify whether software errors should be logged by the system.
- If you select to log software problems detected
by the system (*LOG), the problem log is the storage place for information
about errors that occur in the software of your system. The system
evaluates the errors to determine whether to log these errors unconditionally
or to defer the decision to log errors to the policy-based Service
Monitor.
If the error is logged unconditionally, a message is sent to QSYSOPR and an entry is created in the problem log. If the reporting component provides error data, a spooled file is created to contain the data. The spooled file name is stored in the error log and problem log entries.
If the error is conditionally logged, the decision to log the error is made by the policy-based Service Monitor. If the decision is to log the problem, an entry is created in the problem log. The problem data is stored in a problem data library and the problem record entry is updated with the name of the library.
- If you select not to log software problems detected by the system (*NOLOG), no logging occurs if a software error is detected.
