TCC - Log node

Log node

The Log node lists messages and errors that may occur when the CAST Transaction Configuration Center is in use:

The messages in the Log node window are also recorded in a log file on disk:

  • the file will be named “TCC--”, where is of the form “YYYYMMDD”, and of the form “HHMMSS”
  • the file will by default be located in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%/CAST/CAST/Logs/TCC, or in a folder named TCC in the location specified by the CAST_LOG_ROOT_PATH if that variable has been defined and activated in the CastGlobalSettings.ini file.

The following headings are displayed in the Log node window:

Record typeDisplays the type of message:
  • Message > General information: does not indicate a problem.
  • Error > This is usually a functional error.
  • Exception > This is usually an SQL error. For example the target RDBMS may not be functioning correctly or may be offline.
  • Report > This type of message relates to information about the execution of "larger" features such as Compute.
