Error Log View
The Error Log view captures and displays all internal trace records, other informational messages and errors generated by the platform.
The application writes these errors to a log file created in the metadata subdirectory of your workspace.
When new events are logged, the application automatically highlights the Error Log view.
You can click the icons on the Error Log view toolbar to export, import, delete, and open a selected event. You can also use the Clear Log Viewer and the Restore Logs icons to obtain the latest events generated for an active program.
You can identify, review, sort, and filter errors listed in the Error Log view. The Error Log view captures internal trace records, messages, and errors that are caused by the operating system or CA InterTest. You can review the details of an error and troubleshoot problems.
To open the Error Log view, select Window, Show Views, Error Log.
The Error Log view lists a set of errors with the following information for each error:
-
A brief description of the error
-
The plug-in from which the error originated
-
The date and time that the error occurred
Note: If a plus sign (+) precedes an error, the error is a complex problem. This indicates that a number of errors contribute to the problem. You can double-click the error to expand and view the list of errors under that error.
