Generation Log
The generation log contains the results of generation.
You can keep the log window open in a separate window until you close the Integration Directory. You can open as many log windows as required.
A generation log is displayed even when generation is terminated. You can also open a generation log after generation is complete, to view logs saved in local files at a later date, for example.
To open the
generation log, in the toolbar for the model-configuration function, choose
Log (
). The generation log is opened automatically
when generation of an object is complete.
Screen Areas
A generation log
comprises numerous screen areas that you can expand or collapse as required
(
or 
).
The screen areas contain the following information:
Screen Areas of the Generation Log
Screen Area |
Displayed Information |
Header Area |
Displays key data of the model from the Enterprise Services Repository and from the configuration scenario from the Integration Directory. |
Using the Log |
Displays information about using the log |
Generation Settings |
Displays the selected generation settings |
Generation Statistics |
Specifies the number of new, changed, or reused objects, as well as the errors that occurred during the generation run. |
Selected Model |
Displays the generation result in detail. The results are itemized according to the connections from the corresponding model.
In the configuration of a process variant type model, Model refers to a process component interaction model. In the configuration of an integration scenario (classic), Model refers to a component view. A header area and expandable detail area is displayed for each connection. The header area contains traffic lights for all configuration objects belonging to the connection to indicate whether generation errors occurred and where manual editing work is required. The object key is displayed in the title line of each object. To open an object, click the key. If no key exists for an object (as is the case in simulation mode, for example), a warning message is displayed. The processing status is indicated by a traffic light: ● Green light: No manual work required for this object ● Amber light: Configuration object could not be specified completely (for example, in routing conditions) ● Red light: An error occurred during generation when changing the object The system displays the following information for each object. ● Analysis of the situation before generation
In the case of a receiver determination, for example, the additional receiver communication components that are required to configure the model are specified here. ● Generation result Specifies whether the generated object was created, reused, or modified.
In the case of a receiver determination, for example, the additional receiver communication components that were added to the object are specified here. ● Further information
In the case of a receiver determination, for example, you are told to check the conditions here. |
Other Functions
The following additional functions are available in the toolbar at the top of the log window:

Function |
|
Loads a generation log from a file to the log window. All the log navigation options are available when you load a log from a file in this way. |
|
Saves the generation log as an XML file. The default file name is the name of the configuration scenario followed by the extension .xml. |
|
Prints the generation log currently displayed. The print version is always a fully expanded version of the log. |
