Use the following resources to analyze system messages:
| Resource | Description |
|---|---|
| Database Messages | An analysis of the message log file should always accompany any results found when using the SystemFE macros. The log file shows all system messages or activities leading up to and following those messages found in the DBC.SW_Event_Log. For information on the location of the message log file, see “Usage Notes”. |
| Administration Workstation (AWS) | Attached to all multi-node database systems, the AWS has a Customer Support Facility (CSF) knowledge base which often provides information useful for determining the best course of action to take when addressing system messages. |
| SHOWSPACE command (Ferret utility) | This command reports on the amount of used and available system space. For more information, see Ferret in Teradata Vantage™ - Database Utilities, B035-1102. |
| ResUsage macros | Executing these macros provides assistance in analyzing system performance. For more information, see Teradata Vantage™ - Resource Usage Macros and Tables, B035-1099. |
