How HPL logfile messages are ordered

The HPL log-file messages appear in this section in alphabetical order, sorted with the following additional rules:
  • The time stamp that precedes each message is ignored.
  • Letter case in alphabetization is ignored.
  • File, record, database server, and table names are ignored.
  • Error numbers are ignored.
  • Spaces are ignored.
  • Quotation marks are ignored.
  • The word the is ignored if it is the first word in the message.

A cause and suggested corrective action for a message or group of messages follows the message text.

A section that lists pop-up messages (or messages that are returned to standard error) appears after the log-file message sections. Messages in this section are arranged according to the same rules that apply to log-file messages.
