The DSTLOG servlet displays information about the events that occurred during the execution and distribution of a report. It enables you to confirm that a report job ran as scheduled and was distributed successfully. If it did not run or was not distributed successfully, the log information states the reason why.
DSTLOG extracts information from the WebFOCUS repository tables and displays it in your browser in HTML format. You can select specific information for display by supplying any combination of job description, schedule ID, last job execution, and date/time.
If you do not supply any selection criteria, all log information is retrieved and displayed.
Note: You can only view log reports for schedules created with the ReportCaster API when using the DSTLOG servlet. Otherwise, the following message appears:
No Log information exists for this request.
