Operational Management

In Profitbase Studio 6, operational management includes the following:

  • Creation, updating and processing of Data Flows
  • Scheduling of Data Flows
  • View Profitbase Servers message log and active task queue.
  • View Solutions message and operation log

In PS 5.2, messages were logged in the Profitbase Servers message log. This log will now only contain messages related to the server and not to the jobs them self. Example on content in the servers message log is that a job has started and completed, that the server is started, that the server has invalid License etc.

The solutions message and operations logs are now located in the data warehouse database. The names of these tables are:

  • message log: pbMessageLog (shared among different solutions in same DW).
  • operation log:_pbOperationLog.

The same messages are logged either you run it from client, or as a scheduled job from server (5.2 did only log messages when run on the server).

Note - To maintain the message (and operation) logs, a Data Flow step is available to e.g. delete and optionally backup content older then a selected number of days. It is recommended that this is added and run on a regular schedule.
