P/390 Error Logs
P/390 provides several logs that can be useful if you experience problems during installation and
configuration.
• C:\P390\AWSERROR.LOG
• C:\OS2POPUP .LOG
The following logs are for the 3172 SDLC Gateway and 3172 LAN Gateway only.
• C:\lBMCOM\LANTRAN.LOG
• C:\P390\AWS3172.LOG
• C:\P390\AWS3172.ERR
AWSERROR.LOG
This is where all 10SP error messages with prefix "AWS" are logged. There is one message per line.
The format is:
<mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss> AWSzzznnnx Error message text ...
This message format is thoroughly described in the on-line message help file. AWSERROR.LOG is
cumulative over time and is never erased.
P/390 messages are logged in AWSERROR.LOG in the P390 subdirectory. The messages have a time
and date stamp so you can see a history of messages. Portions of the file or the complete file can be
deleted to eliminate unneeded entries. See online message help file C:\P390\P390MSG.INF for message
descriptions and actions. Use the OS/2 VIEW command to view this command.
POPUPLOG.OS2
This is where OS/2 abend error messages are logged. Each message takes up multiple lines in the file
and are separated from subsequent messages by a row of dashes. The format is:
hh:mm:ss mm-dd-yy,
Type of Abend,
Process ID, Taskid
Name of Abending Module (if known)
Register Information (multiple lines)
POPUPLOG.OS2 is cumulative over time and is never erased.
LANTRAN.LOG
This is where MPTS (LAN adapter support program) puts initialization messages and error messages.
There is one message per line. This file gets created anew every time OS/2 is booted, and so only
contains the history from the most recent OS/2 boot.
This file is a record of the initialization process as executed by CONFIG.SYS. It is located in the IBMCOM
subdirectory. The information in this file relates to:
• Starting each adapter device driver including all messages generated during initialization
- Loading the driver, version loaded, and related information
- Opening an adapter, and whether it was successful or unsuccessful
