Managing Logs

Logs are used to trace and troubleshoot the plug-in exceptions.

When an error occurs, you can check the logs to trace and troubleshoot the plug-in exception. By default, error logs are displayed in the Console view when you run a process in the debug mode. You can change the log level of the plug-in to trace different messages and export logs to a file. Different log levels correspond to different messages, as described in Log Levels

A logback.xml file is located in the TIBCO_HOME\bw\<version>\config\design\logback directory. Update this file to set up a log file and export logs to a file.

Log Levels

Different log levels include different information. The plug-in supports the following log levels:

Log Level Description
Debug Indicates a developer-defined tracing message.
Info Indicates normal plug-in operations. No action is required. A tracing message tagged with Info indicates that a significant processing step is reached, and logged for tracking or auditing purposes. Only Info messages preceding a tracking identifier are considered as significant steps.
Error Indicates that an unrecoverable error occurred. Depending on the severity of the error, the plug-in might continue with the next operation or might stop.
Warn Indicates that an abnormal condition occurred. Processing continues, but special attention from an administrator is recommended.
Trace Includes all information regarding the running process.
