Working with Output Log Files
Each time you generate output for a target,ePublisher creates a log file named generate.log and writes the following information to the log file:
*Time when output generation began
*Actions and commands ePublisher performed, such as processing, creating and copying files
*Pipelines processed by ePublisher
*Any messages, warnings, or errors generated by ePublisher when ePublisher generated output for the target
*Time when output generation ended
*Total amount of time it took ePublisher to generate the output
To work with output log files for a target
1. If you want to view the log file for a target from within the ePublisher user interface, complete the following steps:
a. On the Project menu, select the target next to Active Target for which you want to view log files.
b. On the View menu, click Log Window.
2. If you want to save the log file as a .txt file, complete the following steps:
a. Click the Save button, located in the upper-right corner of the Log Window.
b. Specify a name for the log file and the location where you want to save the log file, and then click Save.
3. If you want to view the log file for a target using Windows Explorer, in Windows Explorer browse to one of the following locations:
*If you are using ePublisher Express, browse to the ProjectName\Logs\TargetName folder, where ProjectName is the name of the project and TargetName is the name of the target for which you generated output. By default ePublisher saves project files for ePublisher Express projects in the My Documents\ePublisher Express Projects\ProjectName folder, where ProjectName is the name of the project.
*If you are using ePublisher Designer, browse to the ProjectName\Logs\TargetName folder, where ProjectName is the name of the project and TargetName is the name of the target for which you generated output. By default ePublisher saves project files for ePublisher Designer projects in the My Documents\ePublisher Designer Projects\ProjectName folder, where ProjectName is the name of the project.
