SYMPTOMS
Error messages developed in the recording component of a Diagnostic Capture Remote Environment (RE) are not currently logged in the Windows NT Event Log. Consequently, information gathered about the encountered error is lost.
The example detailed in the "More Information" section describes only one instance of this problem.
STATUS

MORE INFORMATION
The following is an actual example. It includes the additional information that you would expect to be written in the Event Log for this specific example.
First, create the error situation using the CedarBank tutorial as a basis.
- Start Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and open the COM Transaction Integrator snap-in.
- Right-click Remote Environments and click New...Remote Environment.
- Click Diagnostic Capture and then click OK.
- In the Capture Remote Environment Wizard, select CICS LINK as the type of RE, and then click Next.
- Provide your own name for a recording file and click Next.
- Provide your own name for the Diagnostic Capture RE and click Next.
- Click Finish.
- In the left pane of MMC, right-click the new Diagnostic Capture RE and click Properties.
- Click the Target tab.
- Select "Use responses created from the turnaround dialog."
- Start Windows Explorer and locate the recording file you created.
- Right-click the file and click Properties.
- Under Attribute, click to select the Read-only check box.
- Install Sna\Comti\Tutorials\CedarBank\CICSLink\Cedar.tlb in a new Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) package. Use the tutorial instructions as necessary to complete the process.
- Use the COMTI snap-in to ensure that Cedar.tlb is associated with the new Diagnostic Capture RE.
- Start Sna\Comti\Tutorials\CedarBank\CICSLink\VBClient\CedarBank.exe.
Result: The application displays a dialog box with the error message: - Click Exit on the dialog box.
- Click Start on the Windows NT Taskbar. Point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Event Viewer.
- On the Log menu, click Application.
The following four error entries appear in the Event Log.
A change has been made such that COMTI will write additional error entries, from the recording component of the Diagnostic Capture RE, to the Event Log, such as this one for the present example.
