PROBE (located in \TOOLKIT\SAMPLES\SYSMGT\FFST\PROBE) shows how to use the FFSTProbe function. You should use the FFSTProbe function with a "wrapper" function. An example of a wrapper function is included in this sample code. You can add or delete parameters sent to the wrapper function based on your own needs.

To run the PROBE sample, do the following:

• Copy PROBE.MSG and PROBE.REP into the \OS2\SYSTEM directory. PROBEMSG.TXT and PROBEREP.TXT are the source files used to create the message and template repository files.

• Install the MIF file into the DMI database.

  a.

  Open the Problem Determination Tools folder (located in the OS/2 System folder).
  b.
  Start the DMI MIF Browser.
  c.
  Select Install new from the Components menu.
  d.
  Select PROBE.MIF.
  e.
  Do not close the DMI MIF Browser.
  3.
  At an OS/2 command line type:

  PROBE
  

  After the PROBE sample runs, use the System Error Logger (in the Problem Determination Tools folder) to view the two probe entries, 1111 and 2222. Double-click on the entries to view detailed information.
