Understanding a Publishing Log

When you publish a transform interactively, a log is generated with status updates for your job.

On the Job Details page, the status details for your publishing log is generated. The data source and transform that you selected are listed, along with an automatically generated publish job ID, your login user name, time and date stamps, and a start, then succeed or fail status for each of the following steps of the publishing task performed by the processing engine:
  • Ingest: Imports and processes a smart sample from your data file.

  • Prepare: Identifies categories and types of data from a smart sample.

  • Copymerge: Copies your entire data file to the computing cluster for your service instance.

  • Transform: Edits your data based on your transform script.

  • Publish: Places your repaired and enriched data file in your designated destination folder.
