Open Plan creates a log file each time you run a procedure such as Time Analysis or Resource Scheduling. These log files provide information about the functions that have been performed. You can use the Open Plan Log Viewer to review the log files that have been created during the current session of Open Plan as well as to view previously saved log files.
The Log Viewer displays in a docked window at the bottom of the Open Plan screen. You can open and close the window by clicking Open Log in the Open Plan Log Viewer menu group on the Processes tab, Integration tab, or Tools tab.
You can specify the type of information you want to see in the Log Viewer. For example, errors, information, and warnings. You can change the amount of information that the log displays by adjusting the LogLevel setting on the Advanced tab of the Options dialog box. You can also set the log level for all PPM products in EPM Security Administrator.
The lower the level, the better the performance since Open Plan has less information to record. The higher log levels should only be used when you are trying to resolve issues.
