Each flowchart has its own log file, which records events during each flowchart and
process run. You can analyze the log file to determine how a flowchart is performing and
troubleshoot errors. The events and logging levels that are recorded are determined by the flowchart
Logging options.
Procedure
-
Open a flowchart for editing.
-
Open the Log options menu
and select View log.
The log file opens in a separate window.
-
To interpret the log file, see the examples in Flowchart log file structure.
-
If the log file contains too much information (or not enough), use Logging
options to adjust the severity level (Information, Warning, Error, Debug) and categories
of events that get logged, then do a test run of a process and reexamine the log file. When you are
done, revert to the default logging level to avoid performance issues.
-
If a log file gets too long, use Clear log to remove all existing
entries. To back up the log file before clearing it, open it for viewing and copy the contents to
another file.
