  • The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measure the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is acheived by configuring the step state and percent fields individually as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

  • Save the process definition, create a process instance and execute. The process step should log the error message to System log, as configured. Navigate to Status - System log page and select log by type and error.

 

Note: The error log table is auto trimmed (delete records) if it exceeds certain size. This scheduled job is defined on the server and is event triggered by the growing table size.
