The easiest way to generate additional log information for Web Report Studio (3.1 and 4.2)

0

Ran across a situation last week that proved extremely helpful. We needed to generate detailed logs on Web Report Studio use in order to verify pooling was setup correctly and then to monitor performance of some poor performers. The easiest and most straightforward way to accomplish this was to follow these steps.

1. Verify that the Tester is a member of the WRS Administrator group in SAS Management Console
2. Log into SAS Web Report Studio
3. Modify the URL to: /SASWebReportStudio/debugLog.do?LogAllActions=true and hit 'Enter'
4. You can also change the debug level by modifying the URL to the following format

/SASWebReportStudio/debugLog.do?LogName=log.context&LogLevel;=level

An example:

/SASWebReportStudio/debugLog.do?LogName=com.sas.apps.citation&LogLevel;=DEBUG

and hit 'Enter'
5. Continue with testing.
6. Don't forget to turn off logging before getting out of Web Report Studio

/SASWebReportStudio/debugLog.do?LogAllActions=false

7. Log off of WRS and retrieve the WebReportStudio.log file

For 3.1 - the reference material is available on pg 110 of http://support.sas.com/documentation/configuration/biwaag.pdf

For 4.2 - the same instructions apply. See the section 'Configure Debug Logging Dynamically' on page http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/biwaag/63059/HTML/default/a003050065.htm.
