Checking the message log (EQQMLOG)

Start the standby controller.

When the controller has started, you should check the message log.

When you browse the message log:

Ensure that the return code for all initialization options is 0 (message EQQZ016I).
Check that this message appears:
Standby controller message
```
EQQZ128I OPC ACTIVE IN STANDBY MODE
```

Figure 23 shows an example of the MLOG for a standby controller.
