By default, the application log lists the following types of messages:
Information messages that detail routine actions that Essbase Server performs
In the following example, Essbase Server writes the time elapsed during a data load to the application log:
[Fri Nov 02 13:04:15 2001] Local/Sample/Basic/admin/Info(1003024) Data Load Elapsed Time : [3.014] seconds
Warning messages that list conditions that are not deemed serious by Essbase Server
In the following example, Essbase Server writes a statement that no data values were changed during a data load to the application log:
[Fri Nov 02 12:43:44 2001] Local/Sample/Basic/admin/Warning(1003035) No data values modified by load of this data file
Error messages that describe errors that occurred while performing the task
Error messages can range from serious, such as a file not loading correctly, to very serious, such as a disk space error that causes Essbase Server to crash. In the following example, Essbase Server writes a statement to the application log file indicating that a data value was encountered before all dimensions in the outline were specified:
[Fri Nov 02 12:53:32 2001] Local/Sample/Basic/admin/Error(1003007) Data Value [678] Encountered Before All Dimensions Selected, [2] Records Completed
Table 144 lists settings that you specify in the essbase.cfg file and a command that you can use in a calculation script to determine what types of messages Essbase Server writes to the application log. If you change an essbase.cfg setting, restart Essbase Server to apply the change.
