Is all of the error and logging information in one location?

Yes; it is accessible via the Document Factory Dashboard. The Document Factory Assembly Line schema provides two tables: LOGS and ERRS. Each of the factory workers—including all Java workers and their C based components, plus IDS and Documaker Interactive—write their logging and error details to these tables. The information tracked includes:

• The activity
• Time the activity occurred
• Process Name: The worker or process that generated the activity
• The worker’s version information
• The host or server where the worker processed the activity
• Dashboard users can get to this information in two ways:
• Search for the error code, error ID (unique ID for the error), or log ID to locate specific information.
• Drill down from a processing object – such as a job to link directly to the associated error or log details.

Note

The object links to the first error generated in the process, to see more details about the error or the remainder of errors that generated for the processing object — Job, Transaction, Batch, Recipient, Publication, and so on, click the error code associated with the object.

Using the debugging options listed for each specific worker, you can control the level of logging information maintained in the LOGS table.
