The View Error Log function can only be used with an agent that is running on the node. It cannot be used with a connection manager.
You can view and download LOG files, FDC files, or FFST Summary files (these are summaries of the FDC files).
To view queue manager error logs:
- Select an active queue manager and select Commands > View Error Log from the drop-down menu. The error logs open in the Log File Browse window. At the top of the Log File Browse window, the queue manager’s location is displayed (workgroup server, node, and queue manager name).
- Select a Log Type. The Log type that you select will determine the options that are available in the file filter. See the Log Type Filters table below. Only the INI filter includes INI files.
