From the application and user viewpoint, ETP activities during master file updating are absolutely transparent; however, errors resulting from database calls issued by ETP are reported as though the error had occurred for the application or user.
This Dokument covers the following topics:
If you suspect that an error occurred for one of the additional
database calls issued by ETP, use TEST DBLOG
to track down the
error. More specifically, use code S
(snapshot) of TEST
DBLOG
to pinpoint the error. You should set up TEST DBLOG
before you invoke the program or application for which the error occurs.
TEST DBLOG
can also be used in batch mode.
The following sample input could be used to identify the source of a response code 17, using snapshot:
LOGON MYLIB Log on to the application library. TEST DBLOG ? Issue the TEST DBLOG command. S,,,,,,,17,9999 Input for TEST DBLOG. MYPROG The application program during which the error occurred.
Now, the Adabas call that is shown is the one that received a response code 17.
Using TEST DBLOG
in this way may also help to identify
errors that occur while running the ETP maintenance facility; however, almost
all errors that occur during maintenance utility execution provide the
information listed above to the ETP administrator.
In addition to supplying the information described above for an error during logging operations, ETP also issues a Back out Transaction (BT) if a non-zero response code is returned for an ETP-issued rather than the original call. A BT is also issued if the original call results in a NAT3600 - NAT3624 error.
