Working with Logs

This chapter provides an overview of object management logging and discusses how to use logs.

Understanding Object Management Logging

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OMW contains an object management logging application. Project and object logs provide an excellent way to review the development history of projects or objects. Furthermore, you can view log details for any log record currently appearing on your monitor. From the Work With Log Detail form, you can bring up the actual log entry in the View Full Log Text window.

This application also allows you to rearrange log fields to customize software development reporting. You can view all logs, view sorted logs, or show only the last logging action for an object or project. These two tasks must be performed together to produce customized project and object development reports:

• Reorder log record fields

• Print logs
