View an Event Log

To view a log of data mining events in the selected connection, right-click an entry in the workflow jobs and select Show Event Log. You can also click at the top of a workflow, just under the tab.

By default, all errors are displayed. You can display errors or informational events. The total number of events and the number of events displayed is at the top of the list. For example, Events: 2 of 90 means that 2 of the 90 events are displayed.

Each error or warning has a message and details associated with it. Select an event. The message and details are displayed in the lower pane of the Event Log window.

For each data mining event in the selected connection, the following are displayed:

• Event: In Oracle Data Miner, events indicate the beginning and end of actions, such as START(WORKFLOW) and END(WORKFLOW). Each node is processed sequentially.

• Job: The name of the job that processes the event. These jobs are internal to Oracle Data Miner.

• Node: The name of the node that is being processed. Not all events are associated with a node.

• Sub-node: An internal step during node processing. For example, an Anomaly Build node has a sub-node that builds the model.

• Time: Start time of the event.

• Message: A message about the event. If the event did not encounter problems, then there is no message.

  To see more information about the message, including message details, select the event. The message and the details are displayed in the pane below the list of events. Not all events have messages or message details associated with them.
