Execution Log

About

The Execution Monitor provides real-time information about the execution status of a Package, Transformation, or SQL Script, collectively referred to as an Action.

It allows users to monitor running Actions, review completed executions, and investigate errors when an Action fails.

Action Statuses

An Action can have one of four statuses:

  • Executing — The Action is currently being executed.
  • Submitted — The Action has been submitted and is waiting to be executed.
  • Failed — An error occurred during execution.
  • Finished — The Action completed successfully.

Execution Log

The Execution Log is divided into two panels, providing detailed information about the execution process.

The log can be used to:

  • Monitor the progress of an Action.
  • Review individual execution steps.
  • Identify errors and warnings.
  • Investigate failed Actions.
  • Troubleshoot execution problems.

This information helps users quickly understand what happened during execution and identify the cause of any problems.
