Dataflow Inquiry options 🚀

The details shown in the columns of the Dataflow Inquiry page, provide information about the dataflow: last event date, status, cut-offs, data (filename and file size), source and destination.

When search results are listed in the Dataflow Inquiry page, clicking on the row, the details of the selected flow will appear.

These icons may appear on cards:

• The workflow service task that had failed was resumed, within the same workflow instance.

• An Abort and Resubmit operation was performed, which created a new instance of the workflow.

• An error was recovered; e.g., with a Resume operation, or a Resubmit operation, or internal workflow management.

• A fatal error occurred.

• A business error has occurred (this requires a specific license).

Details option

Selecting the Details option, the Node Details window will appear.

🚀 When an event occurs on the server, a specific icon appears on each node. In the figure above, the following icons are shown: when the file is uploaded in Data One, when it is renamed, and when it is deleted.

Clicking a node, the Details and Trace event tabs will be displayed.

The Details tab shows information about the execution of the contract.

The Trace event tab shows trace event information; e.g. ID, dataflow Instance ID, log Correlation Id, user who executed action, and so on.

The status of the contract is given in the Details tab. If the status is successful, a green bar will appear.

If the contract is in error, a red bar will appear and the reason of the failure is given.

🚀 Jobs in error can be resumed by clicking the View in Jobs icon on the JobID line. You will be redirected to the Job Manager window, where you can resume the job, or abort it as needed.

From the Jobs page, you can easil ùy get back to Data Watcher by clicking the 3-dots button and selecting View Dataflow.

Events option

🚀 The Events option provides information about events related to file transfers (Incoming and/or Outgoing), creation (Local), purge due to retention classes (Local), physical delete (Local), and rename (Local). The Timestamp, Event, Context, and Status of each event are listed in the table.

Clicking each row, additional information can be found on the Event details and Trace events tabs on the right.

The Event details window lists information about the transport, such as protocol, mode, virtual path and event executed, and information about the event, such as when it started and ended, the connection contract used, the partner involved, the source file name and so on. Moving to a different row, the window will be updated.

🚀 In order to enhance focus on critical tasks and reduce unnecessary data processing, specific events that should not be transmitted can be filtered in Data Watcher. This can be achieved by configuring a particular property designed to selectively prevent the forwarding of events associated with designated service tasks to Data Mover and Watcher. See the Filter events page for details.

The Trace events window lists trace fields. They can be filtered with the Search bar at the top of the window. Just enter a portion of the field you want to see and it will be filtered accordingly. When you move to a different row, the filter will be applied to the new event. To remove it, just click the X button. Among Trace event fields, there is the name of the remote user (UserName) who has executed the action. This is particularly useful to see which user performed rename and delete operations.
