Viewing Log Events

Viewing Log Events

To view log events in the Logs tab of the Administrator tool, select the Domain, Service, or User Activity view. Next, configure the filter options. You can filter log events based on attributes such as log type, domain function category, application service type, application service name, user, message code, activity code, timestamp, and severity level. The available options depend on whether you choose to view domain, application service, or user activity log events.
To view more information about a log event, click the log event in the search results.
On AIX and Linux, if the Log Manager receives an internal error message from the PowerCenter Integration Service, it writes a stack trace to the log event window.
You can view logs to get more information about errors that you receive while working in the Administrator tool.
