Policy Log

  • Article

Applies To: Opalis 6.3

Every Policy generates a log when it is running. The Client enables you to view both real-time log information as well as historic logs. When you are viewing a Policy in the Client, the Log and Log History windows will display the real-time and historic logs, respectively, relating to that Policy.

Use the Operator Console for real-time observation of Policy execution.

Real-time Log

The Log windows will display the real-time log of the Policy. The log displays when the Policy was started, and the object that is currently running in the Policy will have the running label beside it. The log enables you to determine if there are any problems with specific objects in your Policy.

Historic Log

The Log History pane displays all the previous executions of the Policy you have selected. The time that the Policy started and ended is displayed at the top of each log entry. The result of each object execution is displayed for each entry.

Double-click an object in the log to view the result of the execution of that object. The Details dialog displays the Name, Type, Status, Start Time and End Time of the object. The Details dialog also enables you to browse the Published Data that was published by the object when it was executed. Use this information when troubleshooting your Policy.

Click the Down Arrow button to view the details of the next object in the Policy and click the Up Arrow button to view the details of the previous object.

Configuring Policy Log Options

Opalis Integration Server enables you to add entries for object-generated or common Published Data items to the Policy log and the Datastore, or to exclude them.

Note

By default, logging options are disabled. Adding these items to the log increases the size of the Datastore.

To configure Policy log options

  1. Open a Policy in the workspace. Right-click the Policy’s tab and select Properties. The Policy’s Properties dialog appears.

  2. Click the Logging tab. To add Published Data items that were generated by objects in this Policy to the log and Datastore, select the Store Object-specific Published Data check box.

  3. To add common Published Data items to the log and Datastore, select the Store Common Published Data check box. The following items will be added to the log:

    Object Name

    Object Type

    Object ID

    Object End Time Year, Month, Day, Weekday, Hours, Minutes, Seconds

    Object Duration

    Previous Object

    Previous Object Name

    When one or both logging options are selected, the Object Start Time, Object End Time, Object Status, and Error Summary Text are added to the log.

  4. Click Finish.
