Using the following database information, you can create custom reports for the Server Policies and Tiered Electronic Distribution components.
However, for Tiered Electronic Distribution objects such as a Subscriber or the External Subscriber, you should use ZENworks reporting options (see Section 11.0, Reporting) or iManager (Section 2.0, Novell iManager) for determining the status of Distributions or policies.
The database file (zfslog.db) contains the following information:
The Sybase database (zfslog.db) that ships with Server Management has the following default user ID and password:
User ID: dba
Password: sql
You can choose to change the password. For more information on changing the password, see Section 10.1.8, Changing the Default Sybase Database Password.

There was a partial success
There is one active connection
There was one forced disconnect
This is because the meaning of the entry in the CODE field is determined by the content of the ACTION CODE field.

“The Distribution was not received because this Subscriber does not meet the platform restrictions.”
Self-explanatory.
“The Distribution was shut down before it was received.”
This one is received in one of two situations: 1) there is a new configuration on the Subscriber so it needs to be updated before it can receive the Distribution; or, 2) there is a signature exception, such as the Subscriber cannot trust the Distribution came from a Distributor it trusts.
“The Distribution was terminated before it was received.”
The Distribution was cancelled for a controlled reason.
“There was an error receiving the Distribution.”
Something unexpected failed. For example, a socket exception, transport exception, and so on.
Contains one record for each Channel/Distribution.
