How to Investigate a Failed Validation

When a validation fails it can be investigated, corrected, and validated again. The following procedures are defined:

• Investigate a validation using the Tasks Page.
• Investigate a validation immediately after a Validation
• Save a message log

Note: This procedure uses a Non-Sysplex system for an example, but the method also works for a Sysplex or a Shared DASD Cluster.

To investigate a failed validation using the Tasks Page

1. On the System Registry Page, in the left hand column find the system with a validation status error.

   Note: It is helpful to record the System Name that has failed the validation.

2. Click the Tasks Tab and then click the Task History link.
3. At the Show bar select All task, or My task to list the tasks by Owner.

   Note: You can refine the task list by entering USER ID, types, and status.
