Creating Reports in Connect-IT

[jsum1]

I have been playing around with Connect-IT for a day and I can't find any option to create a report with the errors encountered at run time.

There is a log file but it doesn't tell you much about where the error occur from the input file.

On the Connect-IT GUI, it has a very detail document log on the right side listing all the Elements and Values in a XML format. Connect-IT gave me the option to copy/open the XML document but it only for the selected error record.

My question is, is there a way to get Connect-IT to generate those XML reports? It would of been nice if it was an out of box feature.

I would like to make a report of the error and give it to the end-user so they could correct their mistakes.

Thanks

Do you mean a processing report?

It should show up as a document when in the mapping engine element. I am not 100% sure how to use it but if you email me direct I can put you in contact with some one who does.....

Hi,

I actually got something working now. I wrote my own script in Connect-IT to write the error to the log file.

Hi,

Is there a chance that connect.it can email the error response to a designated email address?!

CHeers.

Hi,

I don't think it can but i could be wrong. I had to write a dos batch job that would scan for the errors in the log file then reproduce a formatted log file and then email it to an email address.
