Interpreting System Messages
Gateway-ST events are logged by the Gateway-ST event logger. They are
defined according to class and type. The class identifies the layer or resource to
which the event applies. The type describes an event within a particular class.
Event classes are defined in Section A.1.1, and event types are defined in
Section A.1.2.
To receive event messages at a terminal, you must do the following:
1.
Verify that you have OPER privilege.
2.
Set the required terminal as an operator’s terminal.
3.
Ensure that event logging is running.
A system program called OPCOM logs events. When you have decided at
which terminal you want OPCOM to dispay the messages (the terminal can
be a console), enter the following command from that terminal to set it as an
operator’s terminal:
$ REPLY/ENABLE=NETWORK
You will receive all Gateway-ST event messages and DECnet network
messages at that teminal. Section A.1 describes the format and meaning of
event messages.
NOTE
OPCOM logs both DECnet and Gateway-ST events. DECnet events are
documented in the
OpenVMS Network Control Program Manual; a detailed explanation of
Gateway-ST events is provided in DECnet SNA Gateway-CT and ST
Management.
In addition to event messages, you may receive OpenVMS, DECnet or
Gateway-ST error messages.
