When you start the correlator, you can specify that you want it to copy all incoming messages to a special file, called an input log. An input log is useful if there is a problem with either the correlator process or an application running on the correlator. If there is a problem, you can reproduce correlator behavior by replaying the messages captured in the input log. Incoming messages include the following:

If you are unable to diagnose the problem, you can provide the input log to Software AG Global Support. A support engineer can then feed your input log into a new correlator to try to diagnose the problem.

The information in the following topics describes how to generate and use an input log:
