HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Checking the message log

This section describes how to verify the message log.

After starting the agent, check the message log:

Check that the return code for all initialization options is 0 (message EELZ016I).

Ensure that all required subtasks are active.

The data-router and submit tasks are always started. You should see these messages:

EELZ005I SUBTASK DATA ROUTER IS BEING STARTED
EELF001I DATA ROUTER TASK INITIALIZATION IS COMPLETE  

EELZ005I SUBTASK JOB SUBMIT IS BEING STARTED
EELSU01I THE SUBMIT TASK HAS STARTED

Also, verify that the agent has started an event writer. You should see these messages:
```
EELZ005I SUBTASK EVENT WRITER IS BEING STARTED
EELW065I EVENT WRITER STARTED
```

Examine error messages.
Important: The first time the event writer is started, it formats the event data set. Ignore the SD37 abend code that is issued during the formatting process.
Check that your log is complete. To do so, issue a dummy MODIFY command like this: F ssname,xx. Message EELZ049E is written to the log when the command is processed. If this message is the last entry in the log, it means that the log works properly.
