Messages that are issued by HiRDB are output as message logs to message log files (under the file name $PDDIR/spool/pdlog1 or pdlog2) and to syslogfile.

You can view messages that have been output to message log files by executing the pdcat command. To view messages that have been output to syslogfile, you must use the procedure provided by the OS.

Reference note

• When the pdcat command is executed, HiRDB merges the message log information contained in the message log files and outputs the messages in chronological order.
• For a HiRDB parallel server configuration, you can select a message log output method (whether to output to the server machine of the system manager or to each server machine). For details, see 8.1.3 Selecting a message log output method (applicable only to a HiRDB parallel server configuration).
