Re: looking for zend job log

[Larry Kleinman <larry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
