VIEW EXECUTIONS BY FUNCTIONS#

The View Executions By Functions (VMEXF) screen is used to show the executions of reports / update processes and any execution run logs that they had produced by function.

Each line is information written out by the system specifically for the purpose of debugging problems. The Message and Text contain the information required for deciphering and debugging the issues. Each line of the process is indicated, therefore by simply going through each line, one can identify where an error occurred.

This function is for viewing purposes only; you may not edit the data. This is an important screen for debugging purposes. It allows you to verify whether or not a process ran correctly. Each time a process is run, a log is generated. If an error occurred, the log can be reviewed in VMEXF to obtain the reason as to why the error occurred. The information written out here is often of a technical nature and may not be meaningful to the average user but is aimed at a more technical user who is trying to resolve a problem with a workflow.

Each time a process is run, an Execution ID is created (i.e. MEX ID 178309). This ID is important, so that when you go to VMEXF, the correct Execution Log is being reviewed. For workflow tracing this is generated behind the scenes and you won't know it until opening VMEXF.

To view the error in its entirety, click on the line and view the information contained in the "Message" field.

The definition data for the View Execution Run Logs screen is stored in the P2K_AM_EXECUTIONS, P2K_AM_EXECUTION_RUN_LOGS, P2K_AM_PARAMETER_VALUES and P2K_AM_EXECUTION_AUDITS tables.

Executions tab#

MEX ID

This field provides the execution ID created when a process is run.

User

The user running the process will be identified in this field.

Identity

The identity information of the person running the process will be displayed in this field

Start Date/ End Date

These fields indicate the beginning and end of the process

Status

This field displays the status of the execution. (e.g. pending, in process)

Elapsed Time

This field shows a record of the amount of CPU seconds used.

Job Name

This field identifies the specific report execution. This field defaults to the Function+Execution ID. (e.g. RDJB#162852)

Report History

This button will bring up a dialog that shows all your executions of that report that are stored on the report server, and you may view them

Run Logs tab#

Sort Group

Log ID

The ID of the execution run log record.

Process

This field indicates the process that was running when the message was issued (i.e. P2k_pmwrkflw this refers to a workflow action). When tracing, this indicates the program sub unit executing.

Context 1

Provides additional information to frame the run log in context.

Text

This field provides the actual details of what the process was trying to do.

Timestamp

This field is used to display the day and time of the run log.

Trace Level

This field used to indicate the level of trace (messages) that the calculation report should display when performing a trial calculation.

Error Level

This field indicates the error level, e.g. warning, information, error.

Context 1/Context 2

Provides additional information to frame the run log in context.

Message Code

This field provides the error in its entirety.

Run Log Text

This field that allows you to add notes for the run log.

Parameters tab#

Parameter Name

This field uniquely identifies the parameter within the system.

Prompt

This field uniquely identifies the parameter prompt within the system.

Value

This field displays the value of the parameter.

---

Tables Changed tab#

This tab identifies the tables that are changed by this process. The information comes from the P2K_AM_EXECUTION_AUDITS table

Table

This field identifies the table changed.

DML Action

Identifies the type of change made (Insert/Update/Delete)

Reference

This identifies the ID of the record modified by the process, on the table identified

Changed

The date/time the table was changed is displayed in this field.
