EVENT HISTORY LOG

OVERVIEW

Similar to the System Log on the i-Series system, AERIS utilities include a logging facility for important events. This log is supported at the Company level. It can be analyzed using QUERY. As functions are identified as important, code is added to log key events. Conventionally these functions will log both a beginning event (Action = BOJ) and a successful completion event (Action = EOJ). The first functions to use the Event History were the company backups.




EVENT HISTORY FUNCTIONS

These are the standard Event History functions used from any application

  • The function being processed. e.g. POST
  • The action. e.g. BOJ, EOJ
