3.1. Filter the Status Log Messages

The Status Log can be filtered to display a particular set of messages. The filter selection types correspond to the CIMPLICITY Log Viewer columns.

Click View on the status log Viewer menu bar; select Filter Entries.

The Filter System Entries dialog box opens.

Options are as follows.

Option Description
A Status Check one or more message status types.
  • Success
  • Warning
  • Failure
Important: If you do not check at least one status type, no messages will display..
B Process CIMPLICITY process that may require attention (e.g. CfgCab). Tip: Click the drop-down list to display the list of processes that are currently in the log file and can be selected.
C Procedure Internal procedure (software module) name/names. Enter either of the following:
  • An entire procedure name (e.g. PTMAP_add_pt_list).
  • The first n characters (e.g. PTMAP).
Note: Procedures, which are more specific than processes, can help narrow the search for a problem.
D Source Selected error class name (e.g. COR_PM_ERR). Tip: Click the drop-down list to display the list of sources that are currently in the log file and can be selected.
E Reference Exact number to determine the location of the condition that caused the error (e.g. 105).
F Code Exact primary value used by software for expressing the type of error (e.g. 25009).
G Message Message text associated with a log message. Note: The entry must be exactly as it appears in the status log.
H Buttons Buttons do the following.
