Error logs
WebSphere MQ uses a number of error logs to capture messages concerning its own
operation of WebSphere MQ, any queue managers that you start, and error data coming
from the channels that are in use.
The location of the error logs depends on whether the queue manager name
is known and whether the error is associated with a client.
- If the queue manager name is known, the location of the error log is shown
in Table 18.
- If the queue manager name is not known, the location of the error log
is shown in Table 19.
- If an error has occurred with a client application, the location of the
error log on the client is shown in Table 20.
In WebSphere MQ for Windows, an indication of the error is also added to the
Application Log, which can be examined with the Event Viewer application provided
with Windows systems.
