Showing Enterprise Server Log Files

Enterprise Server creates log files for several different Enterprise Server functions, each log file named representing the Enterprise Server function or command. Log files specific to a data source are grouped within a directory named for the data source.

NOTE:For information about where to find the Config, Logs, and Samples folders, see Files Installed with Databridge Enterprise Server in the Databridge Installation Guide.

Enterprise Server always creates a log file when it runs. By default, if there are errors, it will prompt you after the error to view the log file.

To show the log file

  1. Right-click a source and select Properties.

  2. In the Properties dialog box, update the Show log option.

    To automatically display log files for every Enterprise Server process

    Always

    If you additionally want to be asked whether to display the log at the end of each process, select Ask First.

    Otherwise, clear the Ask First check box. In this case, the log file is displayed automatically after Enterprise Server runs.

    To not automatically display log files

    Never

    (The Ask First check box is not available when you select this option.)

    Select Never if you run Enterprise Server on an unattended server.

    To display log files only when an error occurs

    If failure

    If you additionally want to be asked whether to display the log when a failure occurs, select Ask First.

    Otherwise, clear the Ask First check box. In this case, the log is displayed immediately after a run of Enterprise Server in which a failure occurs.

    Your selection takes effect the next time Enterprise Server starts (via the command line, Director, or the user interface).
