Log files allow you to keep track of all operations during a merge process.

When you start the Merger Utility for the first time, you create a new log file. The log file keeps growing as you continue merging data unless you decide to change the current log file. The information in the log file describes chronologically the events that have taken place during the merge process. This information includes:

  • Date and time in which the merge process started.

  • Details of the selected source and target:

    • The database platform (for example, Oracle)

    • The domain name

    • The plant hierarchy item name on the level at which data has been transferred

  • The starting ID of each table. For details of how to set the starting ID, see Setting the Merger Comparison Criteria.

  • The total number of updated target rows (where the software overwrites data).

  • The total number of inserted rows (new rows that were appended in the target domain).

  • The total number of rejected source rows: source rows which were not transferred.

  • The transferring results: whether the merge process was successful if the user stopped it or if it stopped due to merge failure.

If you start the merge process with no log file defined, the software prompts you to define a log file when you are about to start the data transfer.

Smart Instrumentation uses Notepad to view the log file; however, Notepad is limited by file size that it can handle. If your log file becomes too large for Notepad, an appropriate message appears. In this case, you can view your log file using Windows Write or another appropriate utility.
