If you have an unexpected failure, the CICS Explorer™ captures error data that can help identify the cause of the failure. This information is saved in the error log. The error log is stored in a folder on your computer called a Eclipse workspace. You can display the information, warning, and error messages in the Error Log view by clicking Window > Show View > Error Log, or you can open the error log in an external application, such as a browser, and view the entire contents.
This task describes how you can view the entire log in an external application, such as a text editor or a browser. For more information about the Error Log view, see the related link later in this topic.
You can save a copy of the error log to a new file for browsing offline. To prepare the error data for sending to the IBM service representative, see Preparing error data for IBM service.
