Viewing the Log File

This topic discusses viewing the Log File generated by a payroll or absence process.

The Log File gives the system administrator basic information about the run and whether it was completed successfully. The language in which this file is produced is determined by the user ID of the person who enters the processing instructions on the Payroll/Absence Run Control page.

Note: The system writes the Employee ID to the log file whenever an error occurs and the Employee ID is known at that time.

Example 1: Log File for Successfully Completed Run

The database name and the processing options that you selected on the Payroll/Absence Run Control page appear at the top of the file:

  Cancel Option        :                 N     

The Checkpoint Interval and Progress Interval that you selected on the Installation Settings page appear in the next section of the Log File.

Checkpoint / Restart 
  CheckPoint Interval  :                 1000 
  Progress Interval    :                 0500

Information about the run phase follows. You can see some of the same information when you select the Restart Information link on the Payroll/Absence Run Control page.

A timestamp message appears at the beginning and end of each processing phase. The timestamps represent application server machine time, not database time.
