<div><p>Typical uses of serviceability APIs include history logs and error
|
|
handles.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">History log:</h4><p>Serviceability APIs provide a tracking
|
|
mechanism for activity that is taking place on the client workstation. As
|
|
a result, you can use the message-logging APIs to log messages to the <span class="keyword">iSeries™ Access for Windows<sup>®</sup></span> History Log. Examples of messages
|
|
to log include an indication that your application was started, and other
|
|
significant events. For example, a log message may indicate that a file successfully
|
|
was transferred to the iSeries server, a database query failed for some
|
|
reason, or that a job was submitted for printing.</p>
|
|
<p>The product and component
|
|
strings that you provide when you are using the Serviceability APIs allow
|
|
your messages and events to be distinguished from other entries in the service
|
|
files. The recommended hierarchy is to define a product ID, with one or many
|
|
component IDs defined under it.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Error handles:</h4><p>Use the error-handle parameter on <span class="keyword">iSeries Access for Windows</span> C/C++ APIs to retrieve message
|
|
text that is associated with a failure return code. This enables your application
|
|
to display the message text, instead of providing your own text for the set
|
|
of iSeries Access
|
|
return codes.</p>
