Viewing log messages in the Operations Console

You can use the Operations Console to view messages from job runs that you have appropriate authorization to view.

Before you begin

Not all of the log messages for a job run will display when you view the message list in the Operations Console. You must configure the operations database to capture only the messages that you want to view. By default, the database captures only job start and stop messages, and no more than 10 messages that are warning messages or fatal messages.

About this task

Messages for a job run are displayed in the Run Details window, which you can access from one of the lists of job runs in the Operations Console. Lists of job runs are available in the following panels:

  • The Job Activity panel on the Home tab
  • The Job Runs tab within the main Activity tab
  • The Job Runs panel that displays when you select a job on the Projects tab

Procedure

  1. Select a job run from a job run list by clicking the open space to the left of the job name and job icon.
  2. Click the View Details button. The View Details button is either above the job runs list, or on the same row as the selected job run depending on which job run list you view.
  3. In the Run Details window, click the Log Messages tab.
  4. Optional: Select the Full Message check box to see messages from the server rather than from the operations database.
  5. To display the details for a message in the list, select a message in the list.
