The error log report is a crucial report. This report registers the start and end of batch jobs as well as any errors that may have occurred.
Note:
It is good practice to make regular use of this report in order to check that batch jobs have run successfully.
This report displays messages in the error log for a selected scheme.
When the bulk journal file batch job (BJU3AN) or the conversion batch job (BJU5AA) runs, all of the member transactions are checked against the members' investment balances before the transactions are created.
If there are any negative balances, or balances that will become negative as a result of a transaction on the file, then no transactions will be created.
An error message will be created for each of the members affected, as follows:
- Where the investment balance is negative:
TRANSACTION WILL CREATE NEGATIVE UNIT BALANCE
- Where the transaction will result in a negative balance:
TRANSACTION WILL CREATE NEGATIVE INVESTMENT BALANCE
