Web Client Workflow Logs

 

All Workflow Logs are stored on the Knowledgebase Server.  Workflow Logs are available to view under the “View Reports” Main Menu option, under “Workflow Logs”. Expand the “Workflow Log” option to view a list of Workflows and their corresponding Workflow Logs.

 

The Web Client displays Workflow Logs in a "Smart Logging" format.  The Workflow Log is formatted in four quadrants:

 

Upper Left Quadrant -Build Summary

The Workflow Summary information displays the Workflow Name, the name of the User who performed the Workflow, the Date and Time of the Build and the Machine where the Workflow was executed.

 

Lower Left Quadrant - Contents

The Contents Quadrant allows you to display the Workflow Status information or the Workflow Error Report.  You can also turn on or turn off automatic refreshing of the Workflow data.

 

Upper Right Quadrant - Target Status Summary

This area lists the Target build summary displaying the list of errors and the list of those Targets that built successfully.

 

Lower Right Quadrant - Log Display

The Lower Right quadrant displays the build detail.  To display the detail, double click on the detail link listed under the "Message" title in the Upper Right Quadrant.  You will be provided the build log information for that particular step in the build. Information is highlighted in different colors for readability:

 

Red Text – Displays errors resulting from the build.

 

Blue Text – The compiler that was executed and the Build Type that was used to create the Target.

 

For each Workflow,  Logs are organized based on a particular time frame. For example, "Today", "Yesterday", "<Day of Current Week>", "1 Week Ago", "2 Weeks Ago", "1-3 Months Ago" and "More than 3 Months Ago".  By organizing Workflow based on the time frame in which the build was executed, you can easily find a particular WorkflowWorkflow executed today are kept in a separate location from the Workflow executed 2 weeks ago.  

 

It is recommended that for a Production Level build, the Workflow Log is saved and checked into the Version Management tool, along with the matching executables.
