Check Error Log for Calculation Errors

Explanation

This activity is used to get an overview of failed transactions caused by background calculations or data transfer. An error message is generated if one of the following calculations or data transfers fails: 

• calculation of tasks
• calculation of modifications
• calculation of due dates for post maintenance checks
• calculation of a fault deferral
• transfer of work order information when using distributed databases
• serials from remote locations to be created as VIM serials
• transfer of template structure to IFS Manufacturing (only valid if IFS/Manufacturing Standards is installed)

An error message is removed automatically (through a background job) when it reaches the given number of days (compared to the Created date) before old items in the error log are set to be removed from the system. For more information on how to set the number of days before the error log is cleaned up, refer to the activity Verify or Adjust Default Object Properties.

Prerequisites

• For failed work order information to be generated in this error log, distributed databases must be used.
• The calculation or data transfer must have failed and a record created for it in the error log.

System Effects

• You can view information on the errors that occurred, and thereby correct the errors.
