Where to find Job Log for a Scheduled Job that Ran?

[Wendy Peterson]

I have a scheduled job that is a Job Type of Scheduled Data Extract. It's never making it to our FTP Server. Does anyone know if there is a job log i can look at somewhere to tell if it actually ran or how i can tell if there is some kind of error somewhere? It's been in place since we went live 6 years ago. I believe it was code that Crossfuze did way back when that was a free download the consultant company used. It's always just worked so I've never given it much thought.

Thanks

Logs can be found at System Logs > All.  

Given the scheduled job is a script, you should be able to filter for script logging actions to see what it's written - best practise suggests that scripts should log what they're doing.

It's wierd I just doing see it showing up in there when i run it. I just manually ran it and nothing.

Hi Wendy,

In cases where it is not running properly, I often take the contents of the scheduled job and try running it in Scripts Background manually to see how far it gets. As David mentioned, some temporary log statements may be helpful.

Thanks I'll look at that. I think I am going to scrap that scheduled data extract and do it with a export set that way I can see what ran and what didn't run with a folder i have access to. It's going to a ftp server now i have no access to. I am going to send it to our midserver instead. Thanks for the help
