Re: looking for zend job log -- WEB400

where is that logfile? there's nothing by that name in the ZENDSVR
library. Is it somewhere in the IFS?

I am not sure if Easycom errors go in php.log. They have their own file
called ZENDSVR/LOGFILE that becomes more verbose or less verbose as you
adjust their log level.

Ah, you didn't mention that you were running SQL through the i5 toolkit.
So the db2_* error functions are irrelevant for you--you're not using
ibm_db2.

Now your idea to increase Easycom logging makes sense!

If you do:
error_log('My error goes here');

the error will be logged in the normal php.log file.

Nope, not using commitment control.

Yes, I think you are correct about that JOBD being for Easycom. There is
a job called I5_COMD in the ZENDSVR subsystem whose job log just has a
bunch of lines like:

Job 587938/WEB@#USER/PHPJOB submitted to job queue I5_COMJOBQ in library
ZENDSVR.
It's not clear to me whether this happens for each program called from the
PHP script, whether it happens once per script, or whether it also happens
on an SQL statement. I do know that when I changed the job description to
produce a job log and to log CL commands, I see the CL statements from the
programs called by PHP and when I deliberately put some invalid statement
into my SQL that the job log tells me so.

Here is the SQL in question. How would I write the error to a log file?

$searchstring =
"INSERT into ARF60 (CCAUTH, CCTXID, CCAMT, CCCARD, CCFNAM, CCLNAM,
CCTIME, CCTYPE)
VALUES( '$Approval',
'$CCTXID',
$CCAMT,
'$CCCARD',
'$CCFNAM',
'$CCLNAM',
'$CCTIME',
'$CCTYPE')";

$sql_result = i5_query ($searchstring);

if($sql_result) {

}
else {
echo "Error code: " . i5_errno() . "";
echo "Error message: " . i5_errormsg() . "";
var_dump(i5_error());
}
}

Larry,

EACJOBD is for Easycom ("i5 toolkit") processes, I believe.

Regarding the db2 error functions, you could send their output to a log
file rather than to the page. Then you'd have a record of what went wrong
instead of relying on users to tell you.

One more question: are you using commitment control in PHP? If so, an
automatic rollback on error could explain why records don't appear (though
doesn't explain multiple records).

Thanks, Alan. I already have code similar to slide 54, which would show
an error in the browser. I can't rule out that there is some message
appearing which the users are not telling us about, but I don't think that
is the case. I don't see anything in the error log around the time that
the problem has happened. I just changed the EACJOBD job description to
produce a job log when the job ends, and I am hoping to find something
there when this happens again. If you have any other suggestions about
how to trace this, I would certainly appreciate it.

Larry, if you're doing DB2 inserts, check out slide# 54 here:
http://www.slideshare.net/aseiden/db2-and-php-best-practices-on-ibm-i

It shows how to check for errors and to find the exact error text for
SQL queries to ibm_db2.

If you just want PHP errors, find the PHP log at
/usr/local/zendsvr/var/log/php.log

Does anyone know how to change the logging level of a job submitted from

PHP script using Zend Server that runs some SQL? I have a script that
does an SQL insert and 99% of the time it works fine. Occasionally, the
record that should have been added is not there, and occasionally I get
several of the same record instead of just one.
