All AE programs write information about their activitiesDeployment-related activities to logs. The use of particular settings facilitates the output of extended information in a trace. This is particularly useful when searching for and/or correcting an error.
INI-file settings:
Section |

[GLOBAL] |
logcount= |

No (00) |
[Trace] |
file= |
Name of the trace file |
Yes |

trccount= |

No (00) |

If the parameter logging= is not defined, the utilitiesUtilities support the execution of administrative tasks in an Automation Engine system (such as reorganizing and archiving the Automation Engine database). create the following log files by default:
Windows:
.\UCYBDBxx_LOG_##.TXT
UNIX: ./UCYBDBxx_LOG_##.TXT
xx stands for the particular utility.

The same is true if the INI file cannot be found because it does not
exist in the specified folderTop level entities such as Environment, Deployment Target, Activity, … are stored in folders. The permissions a user has on an entity depend on the permissions that are set on the folder for the entities.
Hence a log file is even created if incorrect settings were made.
During the execution of jobs, messages providing information about jobAn Automation Engine object type for a process that runs on a target system. states are written to the logs. The following states exist:
Job Status |
Description |
---|---|
A - Status ended |
Job ended with a return codeThe value that represents the result of tasks and script functions. that is not equal 0. |
E - Status ended |
Job ended on statusThis represents the condition of a task (such as active, blocked, generating). ENDED_OK. |
R - Status running |
This status is written to the log file periodically while the job is being executed. |
V - Status vanished |
This status only occurs when the agentA program that enables the de-centralized execution of processes (such as deployments) on target systems (computers or business solutions) or a service that provides connectivity to a target system (such as for databases or middleware). An agent is also an object type in the Automation Engine. [Formerly called "Executor."] See also: host cannot
find a job anymore that it has started |
