Error Reporting and Diagnostics

Configuration errors are detected when the APPN Node is started and error messages are displayed in the Node Events window of the APPN Node Information dialog box. These configuration errors must be corrected before attempting to use CCIAPPC with EXTRA! Personal Client.

Fileshare clients log messages returned from CCI in both the fhredir.msg and fhneterr.log files in the current directory. For Example:e.g. an entry from fhredir.cfg CCI: 970116 15183855 0009 07 CCIAPPC failed to allocate an APPC session, ensure that Local LU is defined Column 2 and 3 gives the date and time stamp of the error. Column 4 (in this case 0009) gives the CCI error code Column 6 gives the CCI error message returned by CCI-GETERROR.

The Audit Log function of the Status App displays information on significant events and error messages and should be checked if problems are experienced.

The API Trace function of the Status App can be used to provide tracing of CPI-C api calls made by CCIAPPC.

• When in the API Trace window select Settings from the Options menu item.
• In the API Trace Options dialog box select the CPI-C checkbox.
• Select Record from the Options menu to start tracing.
• Select Stop from the Options menu to stop tracing.

Trace entries can be selected and expanded by double-clicking. This then displays parameters and return codes, etc. Trace files can be saved by selecting the Save/Save as options from the File menu.
