Before using the Diagnostic Log utility, ensure you have read and understood Activity Log.
The Diagnostic Log utility NGEN28/DLOG might be used for diagnostic purposes to list the Activity Log, including all control messages for a particular system. User data in this printout is not formatted.
A printout of this log or copy of the LINCLOG file, illustrating any problem you wish to report to Unisys, must accompany your User Communication Forms (UCFs).
The Diagnostic Log utility requires entry of the following:
The name of the log file to be read
Starting position within the log file (optional)
Ending position within the log file (optional)
Pass your starting and ending positions to the program through an Accept value. You can also pass a starting point by using an optional VALUE parameter.
Usercode and/or accesscode passwords are stored in the logs, and can be displayed in unprotected mode and printed by using this utility. Refer to Security of Diagnostic Log Utility. |
CautionSecurity of Diagnostic Log Utility
If the security of the Diagnostic Log Utility is of concern, you can restrict use of the utility, as follows:
Ensure your LINC/DLOG utility resides under a privileged usercode, so that only privileged users might run it.
If the utility remains in the public domain (for example, it is not usercoded), you can change the security of the program to PRIVATE IO so that only privileged users might run it.
