Logs and Log Files

You can monitor resource load runs to determine whether they are successful. Use Metadata Manager logs and log files to view details about resource loads. You can also use the mmcmd command line program to get information about the status of a resource load.

Use the following logs in Metadata Manager to view details about resource loads and troubleshoot errors:

Load Details Tab: Contains resource load tasks, workflow information, worklet information, and load errors.
Metadata Manager Agent Log File: Contains information about a resource load generated by the Metadata Manager Agent.
Metadata Manager Service Log File: Contains log events generated by the Metadata Manager Service and log events generated by the Metadata Manager application.
Activity Log: Contains the status of resource load operations for all resources.

You can also use the PowerCenter Workflow Monitor to view PowerCenter workflows as they load the metadata. Use the session and workflow logs to troubleshoot errors. If you load multiple resources of the same resource type concurrently, the Integration Service runs multiple instances of the workflow that corresponds to the resource type. Each workflow instance includes separate workflow and session logs.

Log events may appear in different languages based on the browser locale. Log events from third-party applications may display in a language other than the browser locale.
