5.1 Checking the log file sizes and output log information

The log file sizes and the amount of information that will be output to log files must be estimated as accurately as possible in the design stage. However, after JP1/AJS3 operation has started, the number of JP1/AJS3 operations, jobs, and jobnets can easily increase, resulting in more information being output to log files than was estimated.

During operation, periodically check whether the information for the number of days specified in the estimate stage is being output to log files. If an error occurs, you can use the information in the log files to determine the operation or processing that caused the error. If the log files do not contain the necessary amount of troubleshooting information, a longer time is necessary to determine the cause of an error.

Monitoring log files daily to ensure output of an adequate amount of information means that the causes of errors can be determined much faster.

The following table lists the log files and the locations in manuals you need to reference when estimating log file sizes.

You can use the scheduler log file not only for troubleshooting, but also for checking the execution status of jobnets.
