Viewing a Log Report

How to:

The Log option enables you to run a log report that contains information about a distributed job, such as whether or not the job executed successfully, when the report output was distributed, in what format the report output was sent, and the method of distribution. Log reports are stylized HTML format, and appear in a separate browser window. You can search, print, or save the log report.
