InterSystems IRIS reports general messages, system errors, certain operating system errors, and network errors through an operator console facility. On Windows, there is no operator console as such and all console messages are sent to the
messages.log file in the InterSystems IRIS system manager directory (
install-dir/mgr). For InterSystems IRIS systems on UNIX® platforms, you can send operator console messages to the
messages.log file or the console terminal.
