The system creates entries in the System Activity Log to record dates and times of system activity or to record system errors. Eclipse personnel can make log entries, as needed, such as when they compile programs in the system.
The following task describes how to create a system activity log entry.
To create a system activity log entry:
From the System > System Programming menu, select System Activity Log Entry to display the System Activity Log Entry window.
The system assigns an ID and populates the Entered By field with your user ID. The current time and date also display.
To specify a security level for the entry, in the Sec Level field, enter a level from 1 to 99. Level 1 is low and level 99 is high.
Note: Only users assigned a SYSTEM.ACTIVITY.EDIT authorization key security level equal to or greater than this security level can view this entry.
To specify the source or reason for the activity, in the Source field, enter the reason, such as Purge for purging the save-lists from Report Writer.
In the Comment field, enter a description of the issues for this log entry.
Click OK.
