2.4.2 Prerequisites for a log file trap

If you use a log file trap, the following conditions must be satisfied:

• The character codes of the files or locale information (such as LANG) listed below used when executing the following command must be unified. However, this condition does not apply when a file formatted in Unicode (hereafter called a Unicode file) is monitored in Windows.

  • Log file to be trapped

  • Action definition file for log file trapping

  • jevlogstart command

  If the character codes or locale information (such as LANG) are not unified, the characters might become garbled or log file traps might be generated.

• The event service and the log-file trap management service (or daemon) are both running.

  In Windows, by default the event service and the log-file trap management service are configured to start automatically when Windows starts.

  In UNIX, you must execute the appropriate commands to start the event service and log-file trap management daemon. For details on starting services, see 7.2 Starting and stopping JP1/Base (in UNIX).
