You can trace the activity described in this flowchart by studying the status messages for the server component reporting the status messages, or you can enable the log files for each relevant component. You can then study the log files and status messages associated with these components to trace the activity that is actually occurring on your SMS system and compare it to the activity described in the flowchart. For more information about viewing status messages and enabling logging, see “Status Messages Versus Logging” in Chapter 16, “Introducing the SMS 2.0 Flowcharts.”
Table 23.1 lists all of the server components that have associated log files. In the troubleshooting tips for the status messages, you will see the following directory listing: SMS\Logs\<Component>. Component refers to the name of the log file for the component reporting the status message. This table will help you map log files to component names while working with status messages.
