PMDF System Manager's Guide

The logging channel keyword can be used with pager channels to enable logging activity. Activity is logged in the PMDF mail log file. See Section 2.3.4.85 for a description of this file. The "type of entry" item in each log file will be a single character selected from the set A, F, R, S:

Logging Code	Error Type	Description
A	Permanent	Message aborted; maximum delivery attempts exceeded
F	Temporary	Error occurred while communicating with the paging switch
R	Permanent	Message rejected by the paging switch
S	Success	Message sent successfully

In the case of a temporary error, the message is requeued for a subsequent delivery attempt provided that the maximum number of delivery attempts has not been exceeded. If the maximum number of delivery attempts has been exceeded, then the error is promoted to a permanent error. In the case of a permanent error, the message is returned to the message's originator.
