Log information for active links

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.

Consider the logging for the Assignee field where Nisha Sharma is selected from the drop-down list.

The following example log shows the workflow of an active link named Assignee_010_SetID that starts execution when a user selects an assignee in the drop-down list. As a developer, you may define an active link action that needs to be taken when certain conditions are false and some when some conditions are false. In the example, a set of condition is fulfilled for and action which is why you see set fields action named action 0 right after True actions. Conditions are defined for action 1 which is also a set fields action that changes the Assignee field to display Nisha Sharma.

Active link logging for PWA

In the Activelink Logging window, you can filter specific active link logs by pasting the AsyncExecId (transaction ID) in the field and clicking filter. You can hide interval activelinks by selecting the hide interval activelinks check box. You can revert to viewing all active link logs by clicking show all. 

Viewing Mid Tier logs

You can view the log files that record the activity of the Mid Tier. If you have no log files generated, it might be because the Log Viewer setting is set to Console. Change this setting to Files to generate Mid Tier log files.
