Enabling and analyzing logs

The filter log file shows all of the filters that were checked during an operation. If a filter was executed, the log also provides a list of the operations performed.

Filter log

The following information is generated when an active link is executed:

• Name
• Transaction ID (only for PWA)
• Start, end, and elapsed time (to 1/10,000 of a second)
• Operation that fires the active link
• Execution order
• Form applied to
• Linked to which field (if applicable)
• Mode (for example, Query, Modify, Submit)
• User's name
• Qualification and if it passes or fails
• Actions generated:
  • Action number
  • Type (for example, Set Fields, Set Characteristics, Push Fields)
  • Name, new characteristics, and value of affected fields, if applicable.

The API log traces all API calls run on the server, regardless of their origin.

The SQL log is similar to the filter log, but the SQL log file consists of a series of SQL commands (one per line), each of which contains the information listed in the Log entry format.
