Add a Debug Log to a Custom WebApp

Debug logs display information, such as error messages and the date and time errors occurred to assist in troubleshooting issues with a component. The DSP® is installed with debug logs for delivered applications.

After a custom WebApp has been added to the platform, a user can add a debug log to it.

After the log has been added, the platform creates:

  • Table:  ttDebugLog
  • Page:  Debug Log
  • Views:
    • webTraceLevelSel
    • webDebugLogHor
    • webDebugLogVer

To view the debug log from within the custom WebApp, the user must add the debug log as a page to the custom WebApp. The log can also be viewed in the table ttDebugLog.

To add a debug log:

  1. Select Common > Job Monitor > Debug Logs in Navigation pane.

  2. Click Add.

    View the field descriptions for the Debug Logs page.

  3. Select the name of the custom WebApp from the COMPONENT list box.

    NOTE: A component can have only one debug log.

  4. Select an option in the TRACE LEVEL list box to designate the type of messages to be displayed in the debug log. :

    Options are:

    • Disabled – Debugging is disabled.:
    • Debug – dAll logs returned during execution of the process display on the debug log. :
    • Information – Only Information messages display on the debug log.
    • Warning – Warning, Error and Fatal messages display on the debug log.
    • Error – Error and Fatal messages display on the debug log.
    • Fatal – Fatal messages display on the debug log.

  1. Enter a value in RETENTION INTERVAL field to control the number of days data is retained in the debug log. After the number of days has passed, the data is deleted.

    To clear all logs regardless of the retention interval, click the Clear Debug Log icon in the Page toolbar. This icon is not active if the Trace Level for a component is Disabled.

  2. Click Save.
