The program creates a log file while it attempts to generate the map, it is creating a log file. This log file includes a list of all the Warnings, “Not Referenced” messages, or Errors that were found during map generation. At the end of the log, there is a summary of the problems encountered and a message indicating whether or not the map generated successfully.
Even if a map generated successfully, the log may contain Warnings or “Not Referenced” messages, which you should review. If they indicate any real problems, you should make the necessary changes to your mapping instructions and generate your map again. Select View Log to see the actions that took place during map generation and any error conditions that were found.
Errors cause map generation to fail. All Errors must be checked and fixed before the map is generated again.
Warnings and “Not Referenced” messages indicate potential problems. They do not stop map generation nor necessarily have to be corrected, but they should be checked.
For example, you receive a “Not Referenced” message if you have records that are not used in the map. If you intentionally excluded these records from your map, ignore the message. However, if you intended to use them, you must change your mapping instructions and regenerate the map.
