5.4.4 Procedure for checking task log entries for debug tasks

The following describes how to view the information output to the task log by a debug task. You cannot view the task log for a debug task that is in Waiting status. You can also download the task log to a folder of your choice, under any file name.

You can view the task log for a running debug task from the Editor window.

To view the task log for a finished debug task or a debug task that was executed by another user, use the Tasks window.

For details about the information output to the task log, see Task log details in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Operation Administration Guide.

To view the task log for a debug task from the Editor window:

1. In the service template debugging view, click the Task Log tab.

   The Task Log tab shows the contents of the task log of the debug task you are debugging.

In the Task Log tab, you can perform actions such as setting the timing with which the contents of the task log are refreshed, and downloading the task log information to a file. The following describes how to perform these actions.

• To automatically update the task log at regular intervals:

  Select the Update automatically check box.

  When you select this check box, the task log is automatically updated each time the status of a step or task changes while the debug task is running.

• To manually update the task log:

  Click Update.

• To download the task log:

  Click Download Log File.

Tip

• When you debug a debug task that has already undergone a debug process, the Update automatically check box is selected automatically and the task log is refreshed. This also happens when you retry a debut task.

• When you select the Update automatically check box, regardless of the task status, the task log is refreshed and the scroll box in the Task Log tab scrolls to the bottom of the table.

To view the task log for a debug task from the Tasks window:

1. In the left pane of the Tasks window, click the Debug Executed Tasks menu command.

2. View the task log in the right pane (Debug-Tasks view) of the Tasks window.

   For details about how to view the task log from the Tasks window, see Displaying task logs in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Operation Administration Guide.

Important note

• The task log size specified (in KB) in the property file (config_user.properties) determines the amount of information displayed in the Task Log dialog box and in the Task Log tab of the service template debugging view. This amount of information is taken from the end of the task log data. The dialog boxes do not display the entire contents of the task log.

• You can set the maximum log file size for debug tasks (in KB) in the property file (config_user.properties). When the maximum file size is exceeded, JP1/AO begins overwriting the oldest information in the task log.
