Delivery fails

Each time the shipping server cannot deliver a packet to a valid destination host, it logs error messages.

For example:
  • (Linux® and the UNIX® system) In file /var/adm/hcl/versionvault/log/shipping_server_log and writes a message to the terminal device, if there is one.
  • (Windows®) In the Windows Event Viewer. You can use the cleartool getlog shipping command to view shipping_server messages from the Event Viewer.

If the problem is temporary (remote host is down, network connections are down, and so on), a subsequent invocation of shipping_server –poll will transmit the packet successfully. If the problem is not temporary, the shipping order may expire eventually.
