Demantra: Logs to look for while debugging


Demantra application has various logs which can help during root cause analysis of a problem encountered in application. Some of these logs are configurable to a large degree giving flexibility to capture detailed log for analysis. Here is a summary list of some of these key logs:


  • Demantra installation log: Installer's first screen has option to enable logging at various level to capture installation activity. 
  • Collaborator.log: This log captures any error during server start, shutdown, restart, etc. The log is available under the web server directory. 
  • Systemlog: Captures various issues around logs encountered by end user on worksheets,  while running methods, etc. LoggerManager utility available through URL can be used to configure logging level and setup. 
  • IntegrationLog:  Captures various logs around data integration runs done via Demantra's inbuild integration interface tool. 
  • DBExecptionLog: DB_EXCEPTION_LOG table captures logs generated by some of the Demantra's procedures. (ep_load_xxx, chaining etc.)
  • EngineLog: EngineManagerLog & Engine2Klog files carry details of engine run activity, logging level can be controlled for engine logs too. 
  • WFProcessLog: Captures workflow run related logs and is accessible through URL too. 

More details around all the logs which come handy during troubleshooting Demantra issues can be found in Metalink Note ID 741464.1.
