Viewing the engine and server log files

Available with Data Reviewer license.

Note:

ArcGIS 10.3 Data Reviewer is the final major release where the Data Reviewer service will be available. It is recommended that you migrate to a scheduled Windows task to run batch jobs on a regular schedule. For an example, see: Exercise 3: Running batch jobs as a scheduled task.

The log files provide detailed summaries of processes and events that occur when a service job is running, continuous status information on the Data Reviewer service, and summaries of service job results. The engine log file contains a detailed summary of all the events and processing messages that occur when a service job is running. The server log file contains continuous status information about the Data Reviewer service. This includes when the server and service are started and the results of the batch job once it is run.
