User Log

The user log contains custom messages that you configure about failures of components in a Script.

The Data Processor transformation writes messages to the user log when you run a Script from the

Data Viewer

view and when you run it in a mapping.

When a Script component has the

on_fail

property, you can configure it to write a message to the user log when it fails. In the Script, set the

on_fail

property to one of the following values:

LogInfo

LogWarning

LogError

Each run of the Script produces a new user log. The user log file name contains the transformation name with a unique GUID:

<Transformation_Name>_<GUID>.log

For example,

CalculateValue_Aa93a9d14-a01f-442a-b9cb-c9ba5541b538.log

On a Windows machine, you can find the user log in the following directory:

c:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Informatica\DataTransformation\UserLogs

On a Linux or UNIX machine, you can find the user log for the root user in the following directory:

/<Installation_Directory>/DataTransformation/UserLogs

On a Linux or UNIX machine, you can find the user log for a non-root user in the following directory:

home/<Installation_Dirctory>/DataTransformation/UserLogs
