The View Trans Log button lets you retrieve information that ECMap places in the log file. The amount of information in the log depends on the Log Type option (Text Log, No Log, or Expanded Text Log) that you selected on the Required tab of the Run Inbound Map window.
The transaction log tells you whether the map ran successfully or failed, but it also performs other functions. For example, the results of Write Log rule commands that the map used display. If you are using a 997 functional acknowledgement, the 997 uses translog.in as input. When you select View Trans Log, the translog.in – Notepad window displays for non-ODBC logs and the View Transaction Log with Run ID: <run ID #> window displays for ODBC logs.
The following information also displays:
A list of the errors and warnings that occurred during map execution
The results of user-generated entries created with Write Log rule commands
System-generated messages for each ST and SE segment
