Log Viewer
The Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Log Viewer allows you to monitor the execution of TestCases. You can filter out relevant log information, save reports, and track the execution of your TestCases in real-time.
Start the Log Viewer
You can find the Log Viewer in two different Tricentis Test Automation for SAP directories:
-
%COMMANDER_HOME%
-
%TBOX_HOME%
Each of them has a separate configuration file, which you can modify.
To start the Log Viewer, navigate to one of its directories and enter the following prompt at command line:
LogViewer.exe [<log level>] [pause]
-
Replace <LogLevel> with one of the available log level values listed below.
-
The parameter pause is optional. It hides the log information in the UI. If you expect your TestCases to log large amounts of data, use this parameter.
