Access
To consult the messages from an AS/400 server, you must either:
Select the Read messages option in the AS/400 window's context-sensitive menu in the job manager.
Double click the icon representing the AS/400 in the AS/400 window.
Validate the software engineer selection in the Select a software engineer to read his messages dialog box.
This dialog box shows any messages sent to the user by the selected AS/400 machine.
It can be closed and subsequently reopened without losing its contents. The dialog box is updated each time it is opened.
The messages are displayed in color:
- lines of text in blue are messages generated by the job manager itself. These messages are not exported via the Save as option.
- lines of text in black are information messages generated by the AS/400.
- lines of text in red are error messages generated by the AS/400.
