INCONTROL products share a common audit trail, which is stored in the IOA Log. This common database is a major advantage if you are trying to track problems that may occur.
Often, a job or an application will use several of the INCONTROL products during its life cycle in the system. For example, a job may be scheduled by Control-M. The job may start by executing a Control-M/Analyzer rule to balance a file. Further down the job stream, a report may be sent to Control-D, and a user may be notified.
When something unexpected happens during processing, you can look in the IOA Log to determine where the problem may have occurred. Depending on your security authorization, you may wish to explore the audit trail of specific events.
The IOA Log facility provides complete flexibility in choosing what you want to see or hide.
The IOA Log screen is displayed.
