Using the Log Viewer

The Log Viewer is a desktop application which runs independently of other Enterprise components.

In Microsoft Windows systems, you can run Log Viewer from the Start > All Programs > BEA > ALBPM > Enterprise 6.0 menu or from the command line at beahome\albpm6.0\enterprise\bin\albpmlogviewer.exe.

In Linux and UNIX systems, you can run Log Viewer from the shell at beahome/albpm6.0/enterprise/bin/albpmlogviewer.

Note: Log files are generated when a process execution engine is started for the first time or a project is published. Therefore, there are no log files that can be read by the Process Log Viewer until a project is published or the process execution engine is started for the first time.

Opening a Log
There are two ways to open a log in the Log Viewer. You can open a log file, or you can open a log through an HTTP or HTTPS connection.
Setting Log Viewer Preferences
You can set the number of items displayed, the update frequency, and the time zone from the BPM Preferences dialog box.
Viewing the Log
Once you have opened the log, you can set a number of viewing options.
Using Filters
Filters allow you to view a selection of log items according to a given search condition.
