What can I do with this system value?
- Log software problems detected by the system (*LOG)
This setting specifies whether software errors should be logged by the system. The problem log is the storage place for information about errors that occur in the software of your system. If you select to log software problems detected by the system (*LOG), the error is evaluated to determine if it should be logged unconditionally, or if the decision to log the error should be deferred to the policy based Service Monitor.
If the error is to be logged unconditionally, a PARable message is sent to QSYSOPR and an entry is created in the problem log. If the reporting component provides error data, a spooled file is created to contain the data. The spooled file name is stored in the error log and problem log entries.
If the error is to be conditionally logged, the decision to log the error will be made by the policy based Service Monitor. If the decision is to log the problem, an entry is created in the problem log. The problem data will be stored in a problem data library and the problem record entry will be updated with the name of the library.
If you select not to log software problems detected by the system (*NOLOG), no logging will occur if a software error is detected.
