Hi Matthew,
I check our M > I > F > S every day (to check the transaction file is
low/zero at the beginning of the day and to see how many system messages
there are to view (if you can't see that on the first screen go F>
Forward to the next screen). This means our file is almost permanently
empty, and if there is a message (usually someone trying to place more
holds than they're allowed to or some other minor circ message) I can
usually delete it without having to do anything.
So this is the only route I know to check the messages and the only one
I've ever needed.
Sorry I can't be of more help,
Natalie

Thanks Natalie,
I've have never guessed I needed to look under "Alter system
parameters"!
Is there any other way of viewing the messages, such as direct on the
server using "tail" or "more"? It seems that no-one here has emptied it
in a long while so there are thousands of screens to page through. And
I cannot see any timestamp on the log messages so I've no clue as to
when any of these things happen.
Do Millennium sites tend to review and clear out these messages
regularly or not?
Matthew

Hello,
From your Main Menu on your character-based interface try A > A > V View
system messages.
Thanks,
Natalie

Subject: System messages file
I was doing a rapid update via the character-based interface. At the
end of the process I got a message:
1 records could not be updated and were skipped Please see the System
Messages file for more information
Can anyone tell me where I can view the system messages file? I've
tried the Millennium web-based documentation, but "system messages" does
not appear in the index. Searching for "system" brings up nothing
whatsoever (?!) and searching for "system messages" just brings up every
page with the word "messages" in. And none of the pages in the contents
immediately spring out as being relevant.
I cannot track it down on the character-based interface menus either.
Hoping someone knows where it is.....
