Viewing the log files for ETL runs
When you run the run_etl.nsh, set_etl_cutoff.nsh, or stop_etl.nsh scripts, log files are created that contain details related to the script, scenario execution, and errors. If a script fails, you can use these logs to determine the point at which the script failed and how to recover.
The log files are created in the BDSSAInstallationDirectory/logs/etl/timeStamp directory, where timeStamp represents the date and time that the log file was created and uses the format YYYMMDDHHMMSS (year, month, day, hour, minute, and second). A new timeStamp directory is created for each
run.The administrator can remove the log files from the directory when appropriate.
The following log files are created when you run the run_etl.nsh script:
- a main log file detailing the run_etl process, with the name
site_siteID_timeStamp_run_etl.log - a log file with information about each scenario as it runs, with the name
site_siteID_timeStamp_0_BSARA_ETL.log - a log file with information about any errors that occurred during each scenario run, with the name
site_siteID_timeStamp_0_BSARA_ETL.err
In the log file names, variables are defined as follows:
- siteID represents the site ID
- timeStamp represents the date and time that the log file was created and uses the format YYYMMDDHHMMSS (year, month, day, hour, minute, and second)
The set_etl_cutoff.nsh and stop_etl.nsh scripts create similar log files in the BDSSAInstallationDirectory/logs/etl/timeStamp directory. These files are named site_siteID_timeStamp_set_etl_cutoff.log and site_siteID_timeStamp_stop_etl.log. Additional log files, associated with the scenarios that these scripts run, are also created.
