Instance Details Pane

The Instance Details pane displays instance data that includes the job log file and the resolved variables. This view is particularly useful when you are working with a job in a development or QA/Test environment. You can trigger the job instance and then watch the results. 

 

The Instance Details Pane is not tabbed in the UI by default. To access it, click on the Collapse/Expand icon, then click on View, then Instance Details.

 

 

The Instance Details pane is updated when you click on an instance in the Instances pane. When doing so, you will see the currently selected instance’s information in the Instance Details pane. The Details pane is also updated when you click on a job template (i.e. job object definition) in Navigation pane. When doing so, you will see the details for the last completed instance (for the selected template) in the Instance Details pane.  

 

Two (2) vertical tabs control the details of what you can view: Log Viewer and Variables.

 

 

Log Viewer controls your view of the instance's job log file. Log Viewer is the tab enabled by default, and it is what you see in the above image. By default, the contents displayed are a standard job log file.

 

There are (3) Log Viewer toolbar buttons. They are described below, from left to right.

 

• Refresh - When selected, the system refreshes the log file with new output, if any.

• Auto Refresh - When enabled (the button's background is a darker color) you can observe the job log output in real-time. You can disable the Auto Refresh button (click on it to toggle it off) if you would prefer to control that aspect, and then use the manual Refresh button.

• Save Log to File - This option saves the log file to the user's Download folder. The file name includes the date and time followed by "ASCI-WebConsole.log".

 

Variables displays how the instance's variables resolved, as per the image below. You will see the variable name, and its value, and a description (if one was added).
