Activity Log

You can view the activity log on the Activity Log page. The activity log displays log entries for jobs in the organization that have completed. From the activity log, you can view additional details about a specific job, and you can restart a job. You can also sort and search the activity log, and create a custom view for the activity log.
The Activity Log page refreshes job details every five seconds. Informatica Cloud clears older activity log entries when they exceed the maximum number of log entries configured for the organization. The Informatica Cloud administrator can also clear all activity log entries when viewing or editing the organization properties.
