Logging Administration
This option allows logging levels to be set within the system and is
used for troubleshooting purposes. It should be used only on the advice
of the iB Solutions implementation team, otherwise if should be set to
Off. The program allows server
side logging functionality within the eSeries framework to be view and
configured.
While logging is turned on, a considerable number of
log messages are generated which will impair the response times and performance
of the Integra eSeries. A red flag will appear in the program title bar
to alert you that logging is turned on. Clicking on the red flag will
take you directly to the logging configuration screen where log targets
can be removed.
When you select the Logging Administration
option from the Menus/Admin Tools
command list, the Show Log Files
screen will be displayed and will list the Log Files along with the file
size and date/time.
Use the Refresh 
button to refresh
the list
Use the Export 
button to export the log file to an archive area -
you will be prompted to specify a location for the exported files. Occasionally
you will be asked to send an export file onwards to allow problems to
be identified.
Use the Delete 
button to removes
all log files not currently in use.
Select a Log File Name to open the View
Log File screen where the contents of the log file will be shown.
Click Configure
to go to the Logging Admin screen
to see a list of the available log targets and the current level configured
against each target.
Logging Admin Screen
The Logging Admin screen shows a list of the available log targets and
the current level configured against each target. The log levels can have
one of three settings
On: all log statements
will be output to the log file.
Off: all log statements
will be disabled for the selected file.
Inherit:
log statements will be output if any parent logger has been enabled.
If a target shows either On or Off without an icon to the left of the
level, this indicates that the setting has
not yet been saved. To save the currently selected levels, click the Apply command button. To disable all
current loggers, click the Switch Off
command button. Logging can also be enabled for a target by double clicking
on the target row.
The Status shows the number
of loggers that have a status of either On
or Off. The drop-down list beside
the Filter field can be used to confine the number of displayed targets
to those which are set to either On or Off. Entries can be made in the
Filter field itself to limit the
log targets displayed. If you enter sls
for example and tab off the field, only targets relevant to the SLS Sales
Management System will be shown.
