Early errors

There are a number of special cases where the error logs have not yet been established and an error occurs. WebSphere MQ attempts to record any such errors in an error log. The location of the log depends on how much of a queue manager has been established.

If, because of a corrupt configuration file, for example, no location information can be determined, errors are logged to an errors directory that is created at installation time.

If both the WebSphere MQ configuration file and the DefaultPrefix attribute of the AllQueueManagers stanza are readable, errors are logged in the errors subdirectory of the directory identified by the DefaultPrefix attribute.
