Activities

Introduction

The Activities page of the Management Console shows the runtime status of operations and the sequence in which a related operation ran, as well as provides the ability to cancel any operation that has not completed.

To access the Activities page, log in to the Jitterbit Harmony Portal, then use the Harmony Portal in the top left to go to Management Console > Activities:

Managing Activities

The Activities table shows information about each operation. Operations from both Cloud Studio and Design Studio projects are included.

This specific information is provided by column:

Operation	The name that identifies the operation as assigned by the user (see Cloud Studio Operations or Design Studio Operations).
Project	The name that identifies the project that the operation belongs to. Projects can have operations that have the same name as operations in other projects.
Environment	The name of the environment the operation was deployed to. Project environments often have operations with the same name, so knowing if the operation was in a certain environment (for example, development, test, or production) is critical to identifying the operation.
Agent	The identification of the agent that the operation instance was assigned to.
Status	This field can have these values: Status Icon Description SUBMITTED When operations are submitted to the Harmony queue, but have yet to be picked up by an agent for execution, they will have a Submitted status. Operations can be submitted via several means: Jitterbit scheduling service or external scheduling service Manual execution of the operation in Cloud Studio or Design Studio A RunOperation() function from a script or transformation Any tool, including JitterbitUtils, that calls the Jitterbit Harmony API RECEIVED Once an agent is picked and the agent has acknowledged that it has received the request to run an operation, the status is changed to Received. PENDING Once an operation is scheduled to run in an agent's operation engine, the status is changed to Pending. Operations should not be in Pending status for long durations, as agents should pick up the request and start running operations in a short amount of time. RUNNING Once the agent starts executing an operation, the status should change to Running. Operations will remain in this status until they complete or they encounter an error. Jitterbit will start logging messages generated by the operation as it runs so that users can track which part of the operation is currently being executed. CANCEL REQUESTED If you want to stop an operation that is in Submitted, Received, Pending, or Running status, click the "X" in the far right column, Cancel. Alternatively, you can enable another operation to cancel an operation using a combination of the GetOperationQueue() function and CancelOperation(). Once a cancel is requested, the operation status will change to Cancel Requested. An operation should not remain in this status for long, as the agent should cancel the operation in a fairly short period of time. CANCELED Once an agent cancels an operation, it sets the status to Canceled and the operation is terminated. All log information up to the point of cancellation will be available for review in the log messages, so the user will know at which point the operation was canceled. The log messages also indicate if the operation was manually canceled by a user. SUCCESS Once an agent completes the execution of an operation, if the outcome was a success without warnings from the target system, or warning written in the transformation using the WriteToOperationLog() function, then the status is set to Success. SUCCESS WITH INFO If the agent completes the execution of an operation, but there were non-fatal issues in the transformation or posting to the target system or the WriteToOperationLog() function was used to write messages to the log, then the status is set to Success with Info. This alerts the user to check for information in the log messages. SUCCESS WITH WARNING If the agent completes the execution of an operation, but there were non-fatal issues in the transformation or posting to the target system, and there was a warning, then the status is set to Success with Warning. This alerts the user to check for warnings in the log messages. SUCCESS WITH CHILD ERROR If the agent completes the successful execution of an operation, but within one or more child operations, there was a fatal error in writing to the target system, or there was a fatal validation error in the transformation, or the transformation logic triggered the RaiseError() function, then the operation status is set to Success with Child Error. This status does not apply to asynchronous operations. ERROR If the agent completes the execution of an operation, but there was a fatal error in writing to the target system, or there was a fatal validation error in the transformation, or the transformation logic triggered the RaiseError() function, then the operation status is set to Error and the operation execution terminates.. SOAP FAULT If the agent completes the execution of an operation, and the outcome was a SOAP fault, then the status is set to SOAP Fault. This status is applicable only for operations using a Cloud Studio SOAP or Salesforce endpoint, or for operations using Design Studio Web Services or the Salesforce Wizard. TIP: Functions documentation is available under Cloud Studio Functions or Design Studio Formula Builder, respecitvely.
Submitted Date	The time the operation run was requested.
Latest Activity Date	The time the operation's status last changed.
Cancel	To stop an operation that is in Submitted, Pending, or Running status, click the "X" in this column.

Cancel Activities

As noted above, canceling activities can be done using the far right column of the Activities table. If you want to stop an operation that is in Submitted, Pending, or Running status, click the "X" in this column.

Search for Activities

You can search for activities either by using the calendar datepicker to the right of the search bar to select predefined or custom dates, or by entering search criteria directly into the search bar:

• Calendar Datepicker: To search by predefined or custom dates, click the calendar icon  located to the right of the search bar. The dropdown will provide predefined searches for operations within the past 24, 48, or 72 hours, as well as the option to provide a custom time:

  

  Click on any of the predefined times to load search results for the selected timeframe. Or click the Custom time option to open a popup where you can select your date/time criteria:

  

• Search Bar: Using the search bar provides additional options for filtering data. Enter search criteria directly into the search bar located directly above the Activities table. The search criteria are explained below.

  After your criteria are entered, click on the refresh icon  located to the left of the search bar to execute the search.

• • Operation Name: Enter "operation=" immediately followed by the name of the operation. For wildcard searches, enter the first few letters of the name of the operation followed by a percent (%) symbol.

    EXAMPLE: operation=New Delete returns any instance of the New Delete operation that has been run.
    EXAMPLE: operation=New% returns all instances of any operations with names that start with "New".

  • Project Name: Enter "project=" immediately followed by the name of the project. For wildcard searches, enter the first few letters of the name of the project followed by a percent (%) symbol.

    EXAMPLE: project=SFDC-SAP returns any operation contained in the SFDC-SAP project that has been run.
    EXAMPLE: project=SFDC% returns all instances of any operation contained in any project name that starts with "SFDC".

Viewing Detailed Information

When an operation in the Activities table is selected, the tabs at the bottom section of the screen become available: Messages, Activity Logs, Debug Files.

View Messages with Cloud Logging Enabled

The Cloud Logging option determines if logging data will be temporarily saved and accessible from within the cloud. This option is set on the Agent Group. Cloud Logging will always be set to enabled in the Jitterbit Cloud Agent Groups. When this option is enabled, the logged data is temporarily stored on the cloud and viewable on the Messages tab of the Activities page.

The Source Records and Target Records display the number of records read from the source system and posted to the target. This information is displayed within the Message portion of the tab:

• System-generated message informing if the operation completed without any errors.
• Information and warning messages returned by either the source or target system.
• Validation warnings returned by the Jitterbit transformation, validation, and scripting services.
• User-defined messages included in the project design using the WriteToOperationLog() function.

View Messages with Cloud Logging Disabled

If Cloud Logging is set to disabled, logged data can only be viewed securely. When an operation is run, a link will display within the Messages tab of the Activities page. Click the link to display the logged information in a separate popup window generated from the Private Agent in which the operation was run.

The Source Records and Target Records display the number of records read from the source system and posted to the target.

Click the link "View log messages from Agent" in order to view additional information securely. The logged information displays in a separate popup window generated from the Private Agent running on a local machine located behind the organization's firewall. This information is displayed within the popup window:

• System-generated message informing if the operation completed without any errors.
• Information and warning messages returned by either the source or target system.
• Validation warnings returned by the Jitterbit transformation, validation, and scripting services.
• User-defined messages included in the project design using the WriteToOperationLog() function.

View Activity Logs

If the selected operation results in a success/failure file, this tab will contain a link to download those activity logs.

View Debug Files

If debug mode is enabled, the Debug Files tab will contain a link to download the debug logs. Debug logging allows you to log debug messages to files on the Jitterbit Agent. You can enable debug mode at the operation level (see Cloud Studio Operation Options or Design Studio Operation Options) or at the project level (see Enabling Debug Logging).
