Report and Log Files

Report and log files are generated after every transfer of data from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to X-PDM and X-PDM to 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The report and log files help to find the causes of data exchange failures.

The following reports and log files are generated during X-PDM exchanges involving XPDMImportExportBatch:

Reports and logs Description File name

XPDMImportExportBatch report

Summary of the XPDMImportExportBatch process in an html format.

To be opened in a web browser.

The name of the report file is the name provided in the Report Name box in XPDMImportExportBatch user interface and can be modified in the batch input file.

Transfer report

Summary of the transfer. It gives detailed information about server transactions, business rule execution and stream conversions (V5 and X-CAD).

To be opened in a web browser.

TransitionEngine\Report_<timestamp>\ProcessReport.xml

XPDMImportExportBatch logs

Log of XPDMImportExportBatch standard and error output.

To be opened in a text viewer.

ExecutionTraces.txt

XPGClientService logs

Note: On-premises environment only.

Log of XPGClientService standard and error output.

To be opened in a text viewer.

XPGClientService.txt

X-CAD converter logs

When the X-CAD converters are invoked, a detailed conversion log is generated.

To be opened in a text viewer.

Representationname_v_wwwwwwww_xxx_yyyyyyy_zzzza.log

Note: When a conversion fails, a link between the associated representation object and the conversion log is given in the transaction section of the transfer report.

XPDMXML report

Information about XPDMXML generation or parse.

To be opened in a web viewer.

XPDMXMLReport\ReportXML.xml

XPDMFilter reportList of non-modified representations that are not exported.

To be opened in web browser.

XPGFilterReport.xml
Note: Click Filtered File Name(s) in the XPDMImportExportBatch report to open the XPDMFilter report.
CADIntrospector Report Information about CAD introspection component errors and warnings.CADIntrospectorReport.xml

To activate this report use:

<AuthoringCAD>NativeCAD</AuthoringCAD> 
Note: Click CADIntrospectorReport in the XPDMImportExportBatch report to open the CAD Introspector report.

All the above logs files are generated at following report directory locations:

  • Directly in the <Report Directory> folder, in case of transferring data from 3DEXPERIENCE platform to X-PDM and vice-versa using XPDMImportExportBatch.

    Note: In this case only XPDMImportExportBatch report, transfer report and X-CAD converter logs are generated in this folder.

    Where, <Report Directory> is the path mentioned in the Report directory box in the XPDMImportExportBatch user interface during connection parameter file generation or batch execution. For more information, see Generating a Connection Parameter File.

  • Only on premises environment, when using event bus connectivity: At <Report directory>\<Event ID>\<Time Stamp> during,
    • Transfer of data from X-PDM to 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
    • Transfer of data from 3DEXPERIENCE platform to X-PDM using Share > Export... > XPDM...
    • Transfer of data from 3DEXPERIENCE platform to X-PDM triggered through the SendToXPDM EKL function. (This method is available on on-premises environment only)
      Note: If Report directory is not set, the logs are generated in the folder <CATTemp>\XPG\logs\<Event ID>\<Time Stamp>.

    For example:

    If the Report Directory set is as c:\Temp\Report and event id is a590ee1-6c673660-1365e070382—8000 for the data transfer from X-PDM to 3DEXPERIENCE platform the report and log file is generated in C:\Temp\Report\a590ee1-6c673660-1365e070382--8000\<ExecutionTimeStamp>.

    If the administrator re-tries the event, the logs of the retry event are created in a new sub-directory under C:\Temp\Report\a590ee1-6c673660-1365e070382--8000\<NewExecutionTimeStamp>.

    Upon completion of XPDMImportExportBatch and depending of the XPGClientService installation options, all the above reports and logs are uploaded to the File Server at a location which is displayed in the Processing Details column of the Gateway monitoring web page.

    You can choose to automatically remove the local copy of reports and logs during installation of XPGClientService as Windows service. For more information, see Configuring XPGClient Services.
