Policy Model Error Log File

The Policy Model error log, which is organized chronologically, looks similar to this:

Error Text

Database Update Errors

The Policy Model error log is in binary format; you can view it only by entering the following command:

ACInstallDir/bin sepmd ‑e pmdname

Note: Do not manually delete an error log (for example, with the UNIX rm command). To delete the log, only use the following command:

ACInstallDir/bin sepmd ‑c pmdname

Important! The error log in CA ControlMinder r5.1 and later versions has a format that is not compatible with the format of earlier versions. sepmd cannot handle error logs from these earlier versions. When you upgrade to a version that has this format, the old error log is copied to ERROR_LOG.bak; a new log file is created when you start sepmdd.

Example: PMDB Update Error Message

The following example shows a typical error message:

Example: Error Message

A command may generate and display more than one error. Also, an error may consist of a major level message, a minor level message, or both.

The following error has only one message level:

Fri Dec 29 10:30:43 2003 CIMV_PROD:Release failed. Return code = 9241

This message occurs when sepmd pull attempts to release a subscriber that is already available.
