Viewing Background Process Logs
- Click System Management>System Dashboards Menu>Background Process Log Viewer.
- Specify a transaction GUID.
- Optionally in the Filters section, narrow your browser display by using this check boxes and prompts available for specifying the browser results:
- Destination - Directory, TCP/IP, Infor OS and/or Unspecified.
- Disposition - Incoming, Outgoing.
- Seq 0001 - Indicate whether to display only records with a sequence number of 00001. This action displays only the first record of any possible record set, without showing all subsequent sequence number records for that first record. You can double click a record in the list box to display all subsequent sequence number records and uncheck the check box by default.
- Event Codes - Errors, Non-Errors
(The default for Destination, Disposition and Event Code filters is all options selected.)
- Optionally in the Filters section, you can further narrow your browser display by using these prompts available for specifying the browser results:
- Date/Time - Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time.
Date and Time Ranges can be specified to show a range of records. Blank entries indicate no specific starting date or time. The date format is shown in 24 hour format, or HH:MM:SS.sss, where “sss” indicates milliseconds. The time can be specified in either 24 hour time, 12 hour time (am/pm), and with or without the colon separators. For example you can specify “100”, for 1:00:00.000 or 1:00 am.) If you specify ‘14523.5p’, the time value is 13:45:23.000 or 1:45:23.500 pm. The time specified must have at least an hour and minute component; “10p” is invalid. If the end date is the same as the start date, the end time must be later than the start time.
- API Name - the API name to use for the filter or click Search or All.
- Entity Key - All or a specific entity key.
Note: This is a text search for the entered value in the Entity key column. If the specified text exists anywhere in the entity key of a record, the record is displayed. You cannot manually specify an entity key in this field, because the actual entity key may contain null characters that cannot be reproduced by typing. Null characters are masked with a space on the screen for readability. To filter on an entity key, you must select the entity from the records in the browser, then right-click to use the “Filter on this API Name and Entity Key” option for the line.
- LID - All or a specific Logical ID.
- Optionally, click Apply Filters to reload the browser using the current filter selections. This is only available when the current filter options are different from the ones that were last applied.
- In the line browser, this information is displayed for each record: Date/Time, Transaction GUID, Sequence number, Disposition (I-In, O-Out), Error Indicator(‘*’ or blank), Event Code, Event Code Description, API Name, Entity, CID In, CID Out, LID, Generation, Destination path, and Message Memo.
- Optionally if you double click on a GUID line in the browser, all sequence numbers for the selected Transaction GUID are displayed.
- Optionally, click Reset Filters to reset all filter entries to the original filter values (all entries cleared and all check boxes checked). This is only available when the current filter options are different than the original filters.
- You can repeat this process and specify additional transaction GUIDs for viewing records.
- Click Done to exit the program.
