CLUE ERRLOG extracts the error log buffers from the dump file and
places them into the binary file called CLUE$ERRLOG.SYS.
These buffers contain messages not yet written to the error log
file at the time of the failure. When you analyze a failure on
the same system on which it occurred, you can run the Error
Log utility on the actual error log file to see these error
log messages. When analyzing a failure from another system, use
the CLUE ERRLOG command to create a file containing the failing
system's error log messages just prior to the failure. System
failures are often triggered by hardware problems, so determining
what, if any, hardware errors occurred prior to the failure can
help you troubleshoot a failure.
You can define the logical CLUE$ERRLOG to any file specification
if you want error log information written to a file other than
CLUE$ERRLOG.SYS.
NOTE
You need at least DECevent V2.9 to analyze the new common
event header (CEH) format file. The old format file can be
analyzed by ANALYZE/ERROR or any version of DECevent.
