Log system function

Use the Log system function to record a custom message in the event log when this system step executes.

To specify a Log system function

  1. Enable the event log category User-defined message 1. See ../com.ibm.p8.ce.admin.tasks.doc/p8pcc277.htm#p8pcc277.
  2. From the General System Palette, drag a Log step onto the workflow map where you want to record a message in the event log.
  3. In Event Type Expression, enter a number such as an integer or integer expression that identifies this message.

    Specify a number above 1000; integers in the range 1 - 1000 are reserved for other events.

    If you enter an integer in the range 1 - 1000, the system will add 1000 to your entry and use this new number for your event log entry.

  4. In Event Message Expression, enter a string expression that will be recorded in the event log.

For example, to record the value of the data field my_string_field in the event log, you specify the following:

When the workflow runs and the Log system step executes, use the administration console to find the message in the event log:
