Troubleshooting Information
- You can view the status of the process in the Scheduled Processes work area. If the process status is error, select the row and click the log and output attachment on the Process Details tab. Download the log and output file. Share the files with support to log a service request.
- If the process has completed successfully, use the pick release logs to view
details about your submitted pick wave process. These logs also give you a quick
and easy way to identify which lines were excluded from being released to your
warehouse for picking and why they were omitted. The log messages are created
when pick release is performed using the Schedule Pick Wave scheduled process or
the Release Pick Wave scheduled process (submitted by the Add to
Release Schedule option on the Create Pick Wave page). The logs
provide you with this information:
- Pick release demand selection criteria
- Pick release processing parameters
- Pick release sequence
- Dynamic SQL statement used
- Overall count of the shipment lines that were excluded from selection with the reason those lines were excluded
- In addition, you can also view the exact shipment line numbers that were excluded if you set the Enable Pick Release Detailed profile option (ORA_WSH_PICK_RELEASE_ESS_DETAIL_LOGGING) to Y. This option is set to N by default.
