APIs</h1>
<div><p>The <span class="keyword">iSeries™ Access for Windows<sup>®</sup></span> Serviceability
application programming interfaces (APIs) allow you to log service file messages
and events within your program.</p>
<div class="section"><p>A set of APIs allows you to read the records from the service
files that are created. These APIs allow you to write a customized service-file
browser.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The following general categories of <span class="keyword">iSeries Access for Windows</span> Serviceability
API functions are provided: </p>
<ul><li>Writing message text to the History log</li>
<li>Writing Trace entries to the Trace file</li>
<li>Reading service files</li>
<li>Retrieving message text that is associated with error handles</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Why you should use <span class="keyword">iSeries Access for Windows</span> Serviceability
APIs:</h4><p>The <span class="keyword">iSeries Access for Windows</span> Serviceability
APIs provide an efficient means of adding message logging and trace points
to your code. Incorporate these functions into programs that are shipped as
part of your product, and use them to help debug programs that are under development.
The file structure supports multiple programs (that are identified by unique
product and component strings) logging to the same files simultaneously. This
provides a complete picture of logging activity on the client workstation.</p>
