Viewing the Action Log
You can view the action execution details for post-processing and scheduled actions on your ActiveTransfer Server. By default, the search list is populated with the action execution details of the current day. You can further filter the action log based on criteria such as date and time, action type, action execution status, and file name.
*To view an action log
1. On the navigation pane, select Logs > Action log.
2. On the Action log page, you can filter the log based on the following criteria:
Field
Description
Date and time
Select a time period from the list or specify a custom date range with a time range in the HH:MM:SS (12-hour clock) format, and click Ok.
Action type
Select one of the following options:
*All: Select this option to display all the post-processing and scheduled actions.
*Post-Processing action: Select this option, and select either All actions or Specific action and type the name of a particular post-processing action.
*Scheduled action: Select this option, and select either All actions or Specific action and type the name of a particular scheduled action.
*Monitor folder action: Select this option, and select either All actions or Specific action and type the name of a particular monitor folder action.
Status
Select an option to display All, Success,Failed, or In Progress action executions from the list.
File name
Type either the partial or complete name of the file based on which you want to search for actions that match the specified file name. Select the Match complete file name option if you want to search for a file with the exact name that you specify.
Match complete file name performs the query faster when you have large volumes of data that can utilize the underlying database optimization.
3. Click Reset and Apply for the changes to take effect.
The activity logs retrieved appear in the results list.
4. If you want to view the details of a particular log, click the log ID.
You can view the following information in the Action details section:
*Timestamp: Date and time of the associated activity.
*Task type: The action type, post-processing or scheduled action.
*Status: Whether the action was successful or unsuccessful.
*Message: Actual activity executed during the file transaction.
*Details: Full list of the parameters and their values that were applied to the file transaction activity.
*File seq no.: The sequence in which the files are processed.
All files in an action are assigned a File Seq No. starting from zero when ActiveTransfer picks them up sequentially for the first task. Even after parallel processing starts, for all subsequent tasks, ActiveTransfer maintains the initial sequence number on each thread until the action execution is complete.
