File Log Inspector

Use the File Log Inspector to inspect information about projects and jobs execution and fatal errors, and to review the system log.

1. Select Tools | File Log Inspector. The generated log files are displayed.

2. Click the log file information you want to view. You may see one or all of these log files:

   Log files are located in the \log subdirectory of the installation directory.

   • execution.log – captures information about job and project execution.

   • fatal.log – captures low-level information that is written when the system encounters serious unexpected behavior. It includes information from fatal system exceptions when the system can no longer write to the system log file.

   • system.log – captures information about system activities, and operational and exceptional events. The detail level of data written to the system.log file depends on the trace level set in the default.ini file located in the etc directory of the installation folder.

     To set the trace level:

     • Select Tools | Enable System Trace.

     • Use the uTracelevel(n) function in a JavaScript procedure.

       The uTracelevel(n) function, where n is a value of 0 through 5, lets you set the trace level from within a component.

     • Specify the trace level in the default.ini file in the etc subdirectory of the installation folder by modifying this line:

       Tracelevel=value
       

       where value is the trace level you want to set. You must restart Sybase IQ ETL for the change to take effect.

     Sybase recommends you to set a trace level to either 0 or 5.

3. (Optional) – Click the Truncate log icon on the toolbar to truncate the log. Click Yes to confirm.

4. (Optional) – Click the “Select rows containing a string or regular expression” icon on the toolbar to locate a particular log file.
