Process Log Viewer Overview

Use the Process Log Viewer to view, print, delete, and manage all the logs generated in PM Compass.

When a process is run on the application server (either as a scheduled process or when you initiate a process such as an import), error messages and/or warnings are written to a log stored in the database. In addition to errors and warnings, many of the import selected options are also listed in the log.  

To view the messages in the processes log, you must access the Process Log Viewer.  

Deltek recommends that you view the log after running any of the following processes:

• Schedule Export

• Schedule Import

• Approve Progress

For more information on error messages displayed in the process logs, see Process Errors.

It is important to view the log after running each of these processes.  Here are some example messages that may exist in the log:

• Importing data — Invalid data in the import file. The log will provide details of why the data was not imported.

• Exporting data — Problems with the export file location, data relationships, and so on are detailed in the log.

• Approve Progress — If the Open Plan project is opened exclusively, or records are being updated by a different user.

When in the import and export views, the toolbar has an option to see the log just created after the import or export.
