Browsing log files
Select File > Browse logs, to open a folder that contains either Workflow or Connect log files.
This is useful when you need to delete a log file or open it in another editor because it has
reached a larger size than the Service Console can handle. With this option you cannot open a
log file in the Service Console.
Note
For Connect log files, the browser opens the current user's default Connect logs location. If Connect
is not installed, installed with another user, or if the default location has been changed, the browser
will open the MyDocument folder.
Viewing older log files
To open an existing, older log file in the Service Console:
1.
In the File menu, click on Open.
2. Browse to the location of the log file you want to open
3.
Click on the log file and click Open.
The log file is added, by name, at the end of the list of PReS Workflow services. Clicking
on it opens the log file in the viewer. Right-clicking on the file brings a menu from which
the log file can be refreshed, or removed from the list.
The log viewer for existing log files does not refresh automatically since log files for older days
do not generally change. The display of the sessions, processes and tasks is the same.
Note
The log viewer as described here was introduced in version 7.4 of PReS Workflow.
Though it should be able to open log files from older versions of PReS Workflow, the
results are not guaranteed. Some log files may not display properly in this view.
Task Properties dialog
Any task you add to your PReS Workflow process must be configured using its Properties
dialog. It appears as soon as you add a task to a process, or when you double-click on a task.
