Assignment Engine logs

If you are running AR Systemapplications (such as BMC Helix ITSM or CSS or any application that uses the Assignment Engine component), when the AR System server is restarted, the server searches for specific tags in the Application Configuration forms. Consequently, you might see warnings in the ARerror.log file. For example:

Sun Mar 12 13:03:45 2006  AssignEng : No schema was found for tag (ARAPPWARN 4831)
Sun Mar 12 13:03:45 2006     SHR Tag: ApplicationProperties;

These warnings are normal and always occur when you restart the server. You can ignore them.

Assignment log files can help you identify functionality issues that you might encounter if the rules are not set up correctly or the processes are not configured correctly.

Important

If you call BMC Support, have a copy of this log available for faster resolution. (Logging is set to OFF by default.)

Location of Assignment Engine log files

Two copies of the installation log files are saved in the ARSystemServerInstallDir/Logs/ folder:

  • Plain-text format – Assignment-RIK_PostInstall.log
  • HTML – Assignment-RIK_PostInstall.html

ARSystemServerInstallDir is the directory where the AR System server executable is installed, such as C:\Program Files\BMC Software\AR System (Windows) or /opt/bmc/ARSystem (UNIX).
