	Tracking Node

Type

Application Item (basic) node

Purpose

Use this node to log:

Debug and tracing information about the application.

Event and alarm data to a system log.

Performance and other data that can be put into a report.

Behavior

In Voice Portal (VP) systems, error and report data are sent to a log file on the Voice Portal Management System (VPMS), from which you can generate reports to analyze application operations.

The VP system logs the trace/debug data locally on the application server. The path to the log file is:

//applicationName/data/log/trace-YYYY-MM-DD.log

where:

applicationName is the name of your application project

YYYY-MM-DD is the year-month-day that the log file was generated

On Avaya IR systems, all logs are local to the application server. The Dialog Designer application places them in the //applicationName/data/log directory. You can view the data and generate reports from the log files located there.

The trace for the current day is //applicationName/data/log/trace.log.

Note:

Open and review logs using a text editor, or import the data into a report generating application. Except for the Application Report on the Avaya Voice Portal system, Avaya does not provide reporting software in the current release.
