Viewing Process Flow Logs

The Process Flow log displays all the details about the process flow execution and its associated activities. It also displays the status of the associated (Parent or Child) Process Flow.
In the Adeptia Suite this feature is available in:

Steps to View Process Flow logs

1. Click the Monitor tab and then click the History menu. All the options of the History menu are displayed .

   Figure 9: Reports Menu options
    

2. Select the Process Flow Logs option. The Process Flow Log screen is displayed (see Figure 72).

   Figure 10: Process Flow Log (Search Criteria)
   

3. By default today's logs are displayed.

4. To select the time interval for which you want to view the logs, click the Calendar icon  and select the Start Date/Time and End Date/Time.

   To search the logs which are already archived, select the View Archive option and then perform the following steps.

5. Click the Process flow from the list.
    

   In the Process Flow Name list, process flows are listed based on their time of execution. The process flow, which is executed recently, is listed first.

6. Select the process flow status whether Executed, Aborted, Successful, Running or Waiting from the Status dropdown list.

7. To search logs based on process flow PID, enter the PID in the Process Flow PID field.

   PID is 30-digit number, which is generated when you execute a process flow.

8. To view the logs for the time interval defined above, click Details. The log information for the selected time interval is displayed with the following information (see Figure 11):

   • Parent/Child (whether the Process Flow is a Parent, Child, both or none)

   • Process Flow Name

   • Description

   • Status

   • User ID

   • Start Time

   • End Time

   • Action

9. To view execution details of the process flow and each activity of the process flow, click the Process Name in Figure 11. The Process Flow Log Detail screen is displayed (see Figure 12).
   

   This screen is divided into two parts:

    
   • • Process Flow Status that displays the details of the selected process flow and its activities.
     • Parent/Child Process Flow Log Details that displays the list of Parent or Child Process flows of the selected process flow. Following details are shown in the Process Flow Details screen:
       • Process Flow Name
       • Process Flow Id
       • Process Flow PID
       • Status
       • Start Time
       • End Time
       • Process Flow Execution Time
       • Activity Name (ID)
       • Activity Type
       • Start Time
       • End Time
       • Execution Time
       • Status
       • Processed Data
       • Error Records

   To view the log information of the Parent/Child Process Flow, click the Parent Child Info link.

10. To view intermediate repository files of the process flow, click the Repository  icon in Figure 12. A screen is displayed with the list of repository files created during execution of the Process Flow (see Figure 13).

11. To open any file from the list, click the name of the file.
12. To set a particular character set encoding to be applied when the respective intermediate repository files of the process flow are opened, define the required character set encoding code in the new textbox marked Character Set Encoding. All the repository files will then support the defined character set encoding (see Figure 13).
13. For process flow log levels other than Error, you can view the detailed log by clicking the Diagnostic icon in Figure 12. Defending on the log level, the detailed log of this process flow is displayed (see Figure 14).

    If you have selected Error in the log level of the process flow, then clicking on diagnostic link does not display any information.

14. Clicking the Error link in Figure 14 displays the details of all errors that caused the process flow to abort. This Error link is displayed in the View Process Flow Log screen, only if the Process Flow is aborted. If Process Flow executes successfully, this Error link is not displayed.
15. Click Close Window to close this screen.

16. Clicking the Context Info icon in Figure 12 displays the Process Flow Context Information screen (see Figure 15).
