Every transaction is logged to the application log. Mainframe application errors are defined in the mainframe documentation. Web server error codes are documented in the Web Server Error Codes List . The application log is designed for use in statistics, and all output to this log is in summary form. The error log is designed to be read by a person either directly or via a CGI program .
Users have the ability to customize messages for commonly-occuring errors.
Customized messages are stored in the pinnconfig.pm module. See the Web Server Error Codes List for more information on the messages associated with different error conditions. Schools should review and modify error messages to reflect the local environment. For example, the message given when a non-JavaScript browser is encountered might inform the user of the location of the local Netscape distribution server. To allow immediate review of application and error logs, the loglook.cgi log reading script is included.
