Troubleshooting problems through the job log

After running the ARA Workflow Job, the job log helps you troubleshoot and resolve problems that you might experience.

To view the log for an ARA Workflow Job run

In the Jobs folder, navigate to the relevant ARA Workflow job, right-click it, and select Show Results.
All runs of the job and their outcome are displayed below the job.
Select a job run in the display of ARA Workflow Job results, right-click, and select Show Log.
A window displays log messages generated during the various phases of job execution. The following table describes typical messages from an ARA Workflow Job and provides related troubleshooting information.
