Logging System for Distribution Agent

The Distribution Agent detects that files are ready to transfer by querying the Report List table (PS_CDM_LIST).

Transfer Log for FTP and XCopy

When the Distribution Agent transfers files using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or XCopy protocol, it tables the information for all of the process requests and assigns a transfer log to this transfer attempt. Any activity from transferring the files for these process requests is recorded in a log file with the following format:

<Log Directory>\_PSDSTSRVLOG\transfer_<Transfer Instance Number>.log

Transfer Log for HTTP

When HTTP is used to transfer files to the Report Repository, it doesn’t generate a transfer log like FTP and XCopy. All logs relating to the HTTP activities are logged in the Process Message Log table and you can view them by clicking the Message Log link on the Process Monitor Detail page in PeopleSoft Process Scheduler.
