You can view the log files—stdout and stderr—of a Batch Program resource using the log file viewer in the OpenEdge Management. This allows you to examine the contents of the Batch Program resource log files through an HTML interface.

To view the Batch Program resource log files:

  1. From the OpenEdge Management console men, click Resources > Go to Resources.
    All the resources managed by your console appear in a grid frame.
  2. Filter or search for, and select the required Batch Program resource.
    The Batch Program: <instance name> page appears.
  3. In the Command and Control section, you can choose to click one of the following to view the log file viewer:
    • Log File Viewer (stdout) — Displays the standard out log file entries.
    • Log File Viewer (stderr) — Displays the standard err log file entries.
  4. In the Log File Viewer, you can:
    • Click FIRST to display the first x entries, where x is the value in the Show field.
    • Click PRIOR to display the previous x entries, where x is the value in the Show field.
    • Click NEXT to display the next x entries, where x is the value in the Show field.
    • Click LAST to display the last x entries, where x is the value in the Show field.
    • Click RELOAD to reload the values, if changed in either the Show field or the Overlap field.
    • Use the Go to field to type the number of the log file entry you want the log file viewer to begin with.

      For example, if you type a value of 10 in the Go to field and press Enter, the log file viewer displays from the tenth log file entry.

    • Use the Show field to type the number of log file entries you want the log file viewer to display at one time.

      The value in the Show field cannot be less than 10.

    • Use the Overlap field to type the number of log file entries you want to be repeated from screen to screen.

      The value in the Overlap field cannot be more than the number in the Show field minus one. For example, if you show 30 entries, you can overlap only 29 or lesser.

    • Use the Display drop-down to choose the order in which you want the log file entries to be displayed, Ascending or Descending. The default is Ascending.
    • If the contents of the log file have changed since you opened the viewer, the log file viewer indicates this in its footer's Status field.
