SQL Error Logging Facility better known as SELF. This is one of the best kept secrets on the IBM i. The SELF support provides a lightweight, production safe way to see what is happening on your IBM i in regard to the SQL being run. Do you have warning messages that are being ignored, or worse yet, errors that are happening but ignored. While these may seem ok as they are ignored, these issues in your SQL have the potential to cause you harm. SELF provides a flight recorded that registers these sort of issues giving you the data you need to see what is happening and better yet, pinpoint where you need to fix things. In this iSee we demo how to turn on , the latest new features and give you the SQL such that you can start using it today.
