Name

decedi_look − The decedi_look command prints a human readable form of the DEC/EDI Error Log. The error log contains information logged by the DEC/EDI services indicating the success or failure of their various operations. 
 

 
The error log is displayed as a number of groups of message. Each group of messages is logged by a single component, at a specific time, and are related. Each message will detail the reason it is being logged along with its assumed severity.
 

 
This command can also display the DEC/EDI operator log, which contains messages which were considered urgent enough to be sent to the main system console device. 
 
 
 
 

FORMAT

decedi_look [-o] [-f error_log_file_spec]
 
 
 
 
 

Flags

-o

-f error_log_file_spec
 
 
 
This specifies an alternate file to be used as the source for displaying the DEC/EDI error or operator log. By default the DEC/EDI error log is found in "/var/adm/decedi/logs/decedi_errors.log" and the DEC/EDI operator log is found in "/var/adm/decedi/logs/decedi_opcom.log". 
 
 
 
 

Examples

 # decedi_look
 Mon Mar 27 17:23:03 1995 PID = 17411 NAME = EDIFACT Transmission Splitter
DECEDI__STOPPED (i), shutdown completed
 Mon Mar 27 17:23:03 1995 PID = 17404 NAME = EDIFACT Translator
DECEDI__STOPPED (i), shutdown completed
 Mon Mar 27 17:23:07 1995 PID = 17468 NAME = Startup/Shutdown
DECEDI__IPC_INVALID_PORT (e), Invalid port identifier
DECEDI__ERROPPORT (e), Error opening port DECEDI_COMMS_OFTP
 

 
In this example, the DEC/EDI Server has been shutdown. The EDIFACT Transmission Splitter, and Translator processes have logged informational (i) messages indicating that they have successfully completed shutdown. Note also that their process id, and the date and time at which they logged the message are displayed.
 

 
In this example, the main Startup/Shutdown process was unable to shutdown one of the components due to the IPC port on which the process receives shutdown requests was invalid. Note that the severity of this message indicates its an error (e), and that within the same group is the name if the IPC port causing the problem.
