MORE INFORMATION
The Linkage\Msgs directory contains external message (.msg) files. The
names of the files typically correspond to individual connector processes.
The following is part of a .msg file. We can discuss its format.
1, 1, "Operating system error &1 from &2"
2, 2, "GRC error &2 received from &1"
10, 4, "Warning &1: Could not query the &3 keyword from the &2 section of
the INI file"
11, 2, "Error &1: Could not open the message file &2"
12, 2, "Error &1: Could not register &2 with the Event Manager"
13, 1, "Could not allocate &1 bytes for a &2 object"
14, 1, "An invalid parameter was passed to &1"
The first number in each line is the message number and it also appears in
the Message Number column in the Log Browser in LinkAge Administrator. The
connector generates messages by specifying the message number.
The second number is the Message Level, indicating the importance of the
message itself. It is displayed at the very beginning of each line in the
Log Browser. It shows a red stop sign for level 1 messages, a yellow '2'
for warning/important messages, blue '3' for normal informational messages,
gray '4' for troubleshooting messages, and dark gray '5' for installation
assist/debug messages.
The third entry is the text string of the message. Note that the text
string will usually have variables like &1, &2, and so forth. These are
variables that the connector will provide when it generates the message.
An example of changing the text string of a message follows. Message #
23366 has the entry:
23366, 3, "Opening session with SNA Server"
You need to search all .msg files to see which files contain this message
Number (you can use a text editor to do this). If you want to change this
text string (or message level), you need to change it in all .msg files
that have this entry, not just the .msg file that corresponds to the
process.
In this example, Lslmeens.msg is the only .msg file that has this entry.
Use any text editor to open Lslmeens.msg in the C:\Linkage directory and
change the line to read
23366, 4, "Allocating session with Host application"
For this change to take affect, you will need to stop and start the LinkAge
Controller service. The result should be that any time message number
23366 is generated to the log, the new text and message level will appear.
