6 Viewing Log Information

This chapter provides information about the View Log window in the Address Correction utility.

View Log Window

The View Log window displays the log information for the jobs that you run to resolve inconsistencies related to end user locations. This information is logged in the ASAP.ACU_LOG table in the MSS database.

The View Log window has the following sections:

View Log Search Section

The View Log Search section enables you to search for the required log information.

Table 6-1 Fields in the View Log Search Section

Field Description

Job Id

Unique identifier for the job.

Log Details

Enables you to specify wild cards to search for log information. See Table 2-2 for more information on the wild cards you can specify in this field.

From Date

The date from which to search for the log information. Defaults to a date one week before the current date.

Through Date

The date until which to search for the log information. Defaults to the current date.

Status

Status of the job:

  • Pass: Indicates that the job ran successfully and all the inconsistencies related to end user locations were resolved in the selected group.

  • Fail: Indicates that the job did not run successfully and processing was halted for at least one of the duplicate end user locations/addresses. For example, if the duplicate end user location has a network location alias in the scenario where multiple end user locations have the same address, the processing stops for that particular end user location but the job continues processing for the remaining duplicate end user locations and the status of the job is displayed as Fail.

  • Manual: Indicates that the job ran successfully and manual steps may be required to reconcile data in the MSS application or third-party systems. For example, if the location name is not updated in the Connection Design Window - CLR/DLR Design view, the status of the job is displayed as Manual, which indicates that you must do some manual steps to update the location in the MSS application.

Search

Click to retrieve the log information that matches the specified search criteria.

Purge Before (Days)

Data older than the number of days specified in this field is purged. Defaults to 30.

Purge

Click to purge the log information. You cannot undo this action.

Manual

There are n active rows for the format Address_Format.
Please run Option 2 for the End User Location EUL_Name_Primary.

where:

  • n is the total number of active addresses at the primary end user location.

  • Address_Format is the address format of the active addresses at the primary end user location.

  • EUL_Name_Primary is the end user location name of the primary end user location.

Applicable Scenarios:

  • Scenario 11

  • Scenario 22

In addition, the primary end user location with ID L1 has an additional address with ID A2 of MSAG structured format.

After the resolution process is completed, the primary end user location with ID L1 now has addresses with IDs A1 and A2 of MSAG structured format.

On the Criteria tab, select the Multiple active address per EUL per address structured format option to search for and resolve multiple active addresses of the same address structured format at the same end user location.

See "Resolving Multiple Active Addresses of the Same Address Format per EUL" for more information.
