Inspecting log file information
The File Log Inspector window allows you to inspect log file information
about job execution, fatal errors, and the system log. The log files are located
in the \log subdirectory of the installation directory. The log files are:
• execution.log — captures all information regarding job execution errors.
• fatal.log — captures low-level information that is written when the system
encounters serious unexpected behavior. This includes information from
fatal system exceptions when the system was no longer able to write to the
system log file.
• system.log — captures all information about system activities, both
operational and exceptional events. The detail of data written to this file
depends on the Trace Level that is set in the default.ini file located in the
/etc directory. You can also change the Trace Level within a project or job
by using the
uTracelevel(n) function in a JavaScript procedure.
A Trace Level of 0 (the default) only traces minimal processing
information. A Trace Level of 5 traces the maximum amount of
information about processing events and processing steps.
Note Even a Trace Level of 1 will considerably increase the amount of
logging information written to the system.log file and, as a result, will
impact the overall performance of the Sybase IQ ETL environment.
The function
uTracelevel(n), where n is a value of 0 through 5, lets you set
the Trace Level from within a project or job. As a result, you can trace the
execution of a single component with maximum detail, while all other
components are only tracing at the default level. You can call the
uTracelevel function from within a JavaScript procedure.
Managing jobs and scheduled tasks
The Runtime Manager manages jobs and gives you an overview of your
currently scheduled job tasks. Using Runtime Manager, you can create, edit,
delete, execute, and terminate tasks.
Because Runtime Manager is based on Windows task scheduling manager, you
will find any scheduled task currently defined on the system.
