The Log Window
Overview The log window displays the results of the operations performed by the Advantys
configuration software during a work session. Each island has its own log window.
By default, the log window is located in the bottom pane on the workspace screen.
Message Types Messages that appear in the log window might be:
warnings
error messages and error codes
command confirmations
status for processes that require time to execute—for example, downloading
configuration data to the physical NIM (See Downloading Configuration Data to
the Physical Island, p. 70)
resource analysis results (See Accessing the Resource Analysis Display, p. 57)
island build results (See Verifying Your Island Configuration, p. 64)
Shortcut Menu When you right-click in the log window, a shortcut menu appears with the following
commands:
Save Logfile
Clear
Saving a Log File The log window is temporary. It posts messages during the current work session,
until you close the active workspace. When you reopen a workspace, the new log
window will come up empty.
For troubleshooting purposes, you may want to save the contents of a log window
before you close the work session. To do this, right-click in the log window and left-
click on Save Logfile. A Save Log File screen appears that lets you save the log
contents to a text file.
