Functions Log Report

Display the Functions Log Report by clicking Open Log on the Status Tab.

The different calculation warnings are:

  • Cell from category <CategoryName> has no value
  • This warning appears when an advanced function is being calculated and some of its input parameters are missing or null.
  • Unable to calculate indicator (One of the function parameters has a null value) This warning appears when a non-advanced indicator function is being calculated and some of its input parameters are missing or null. For example, imagine a function in the CPIC Fast Track that calculates an indicator from a budget-related category and the Status category. For a FISMA item, the budget-related category is null, but the Status category has a value. Therefore, some of the function's parameters are null, resulting in this warning.
  • Unable to calculate indicator! (Division by zero)
  • This warning appears when a non-advanced indicator function is being calculated and the divisor is null or zero.
  • Range values must have different values
  • This warning appears when an indicator function based on a value list assigns the same boundary values to several boundaries.
  • Unable to calculate! (Circular calculation path. Some of the function's Sources are based on the value of the function.)
  • This warning appears when there is a problem calculating because the function directly or indirectly relies on itself (circular reference).
  • Unable to calculate Value/Indicator (All of the function parameters have null values). This warning appears when all the parameters of a summary (vertical or over-time) function are missing, or null. For example, when calculating a vertical summary function on an empty portfolio this warning will be shown.
  • All parameters are missing
  • This warning appears when testing a function on an item or portfolio that does not contain values for any of the parameters of the function.
  • Unable to calculate Value/Indicator (Insufficient function security permissions). The function was denied access by some of its sources
  • This warning appears when a function is denied running or access to its parameters because of security permissions.
  • In advanced functions it is possible to create user-definable warnings. These can alert the user to possible problems. This capability is very useful during debugging since it allows the developer to trace the execution of a function.
  • A new log file is created each day for that day's entries. Its size is limited to 20,000 Kb.

    Note:

    • Your viewing choice in this field takes effect from the moment of choice onward. Previously logged events are still available for viewing.
    • Errors are indicated by an "" icon and pink highlight in the Output column.
    • Function log files are located in the log directory (by default under program files\Primavera Portfolio Management\Portfolios\log, within the Primavera Portfolio Management install directory).
