Enable Logging in Payroll Flows
Augment process diagnostics by enabling logging before you submit a flow. When you enable logging and submit a flow, the application creates files to capture the process parameters. These files are stored on the server.
Subsequently,you can review these files and analyze the data for diagnostic purposes.
Before you submit a flow:
-
Check if logging is enabled for the flow you're submitting.
-
Access the process configuration group of the flow and make amendments if required.
A process configuration group monitors various action parameters of the flow including logging levels. Add parameters to a payroll process configuration group to optimize performance and troubleshoot your payroll processes. To process large volumes of records, use the Threads and Chunk Size parameters. To troubleshoot processes, add the Logging Category or Formula Execution Logging parameters to a configuration group and rerun the process using that configuration group. Using these parameters enables you to investigate formula code problems.
When you enable logging, the Submit a Flow page displays a message to indicate that logging is enabled. The name of the process configuration group is displayed on the UI. Click on the process configuration group name to access the Process Configuration Group UI and view the details of the parameter and make changes if required. Absence of the logging message on the UI means that logging is disabled.
If you don't select a process configuration group, a process configuration group that has logging enabled is defaulted to the flow. In this case, the Submit a Flow page displays logging turned on message, but no process configuration group name is displayed. Before submission of the flow, either disable logging of the defaulted group or select another process configuration group that doesn't have logging enabled.
When logging is enabled, files are created and stored on the server. These files occupy space on the server and impact performance. Hence, it's suggested that you enable logging only for a limited time.
User-Defined Flows
For predefined flows that are automatically available for your use, the process configuration group is available as a flow or task parameter as required. However, for flows defined by you, you can use any parameter and rename it as the Process Configuration Group. Use the key parameter functionality, to mark the parameter as a process configuration group.
