Logs

You can view logs to troubleshoot jobs. To view the logs, select a job and click the Logs tab. You can view the session, workflow, and console logs.
When a TDM job runs, the TDM server generates logs. The PowerCenter Integration Service generates the session and workflow logs. When a TDM job fails, you can view the logs to debug problems.
When a job is triggered, TDM always generates console logs. If the job logs are not available, you can view the console logs to check the messages.
When you click a job ID, you can view the following log details:
Date/ Time
The date and time the job ended.
Severity
The severity level of the log messages.
Description
The detailed description of the error message, the cause of the problem, and the solution.

Severity Levels

You can view the severity level of a log message and get a clear understanding of the problem level.
The log messages include the following severity levels:
Error
Indicates that the TDM server failed to perform an operation or respond to a request from a client application.
Warning
Indicates that the TDM server is performing an operation that might cause an error.
Info
Indicates that the TDM server is performing an operation that does not cause errors or problems.
Debug
Indicates TDM Server operations at a detailed level. The debug messages generally record the success or failure of server operations.
Trace
