SureSync's Job Log includes a set of advanced filters to help you locate information quickly and easily. The filters are accessed by pressing the 'Filters' button in the upper left hand corner of the Job Log window. Using the Filters for the Job Log, you can quickly locate just the information you're interested in.
The Filters panel can be displayed when needed or it can be pinned so that the panel is always displayed when you launch the Job Log Viewer. When the Filters panel is not pinned, it will hide itself when you mouse off the control. To pin the Filters panel to the Job Log Viewer, simply mouse over the Filters button and then click on the little pin icon in the upper right hand corner of the panel.
Jobs
The 'Jobs' tab of the Filters panel controls which logs are displayed in the 'Job being viewed' drop down menu as illustrated below. This functionality allows you to quickly select from logs for a particular synchronization without having to scroll through the entire list of job log entries which can be quite lengthy in large SureSync environments.
All of the options on this tab can be combined to return a more granular list of job log entries. For example, you can select a Job and also filter off the Start Date and End Date fields. This can be useful for doing things such as returning just the job logs for a Schedule run in the last week.
Job Name
A Job is a Schedule or a Real-Time Monitor. Selecting a specific job name from this list and clicking 'Refresh Jobs' will display all the Job Log entries for that Job in the 'Job being viewed' drop down as illustrated in the screen shot above.
Relation Name
The Relation Name drop down menu will allow you to filter on the name of a Relation. Selecting a specific Relation name from the list and clicking 'Refresh Jobs' will display all the Job Log entries for that Relation in the 'Job being viewed' drop down list.
Start Date
The Start Date field allows you to limit the Job Log results shown based on a start date. For example, if you wanted to see all the log entries that were generated since June 21, 2009 at 11:00PM you would use this option. The Start Date option accepts both a date and a time in hh:mm am/pm format.
End Date
The End Date field allows you to limit the Job Log results shown based on a end date. For example, if you wanted to see all log entries that were generated before June 26, 2009 at 11:00PM you would use this option. The End Date option accepts both a date and a time in hh:mm am/pm format.
Refresh Jobs
Clicking the 'Refresh Jobs' button will apply the filters you defined. If you select the 'Jobs being viewed' drop down menu
Date and Files
All of the options on this tab can be combined to further limit the amount of records returned from the selected job log entry. For example, you could use the File Name field to select all .doc files (a *.doc entry) and select a Start Date to hide entries which occurred before the time you're interested in viewing.
Start Date
The 'Start Date' field will filter the selected job log starting at the date entered here. This can be used to limit the amount of job log information displayed for the selected job. For example, assume you have a job log which starts on 6/22/2009 at 10:00AM and ends on 6/23/2009 at 9:30PM. If you enter 6/22/2009 1:00PM, the job log viewer will display all events that occurred at 6/22/2009 1:00PM or later.
End Date
The 'End Date' field
File Name
This field allows you to search for a particular file name in a job log entry. This field will except a full file name or wildcard masks. For example, you could search for Sales for August 2009.xls, *.xls, or *August*.xls. The first example will return exact matches to the file name. The second example will return all .xls files. The third example will return any .xls file which has the word August in the file name.
