Data Integration generates a log for each test case job instance. To monitor the jobs, you can access the logs from Data Integration or from Monitor. Use the logs to view error messages and learn about individual output results.
View the logs of jobs that run successfully to learn details about mapping results according to rows of data. View the logs of failed jobs to learn about the reasons for failure. For example, a job fails if the Secure Agent or database is down.
Data Integration adds numbers to the name of the test case job to create unique log names. You can search for logs by field or test case name.
When you configure the test case properties, you can select the test logging level. You can select one of the following logging levels:
•Standard. The log includes error messages.
•Verbose. The log includes messages of all logging levels.

Configuring log data purging
You can set a purge period for log data in Administrator. The purge period defines the number of days to store the data. Data Validation purges the data accordingly. By default, there is no defined purge period and Data Validation doesn't purge the log data.
1In Administrator, access the Secure Agent that runs Data Validation test cases.
2Click Edit at the top of the page.
3Under System Configuration Details, select DV Processor from the Service list.
4Edit the purge-period server property and enter the number of days to store the data.
