Contents of the xUML Service Transaction Log

Structure of the Transaction Log

The transaction log contains the following information:

Field

Description

Example

Date

Date when request was received.

Fields Date and Time are set automatically for system messages.
Custom log messages written with the Log Adapter or the report() function can contain a custom timestamp. This may result in log messages that are not sequential.

2018-06-06

Time

Time when request was received.

08:02:45

Time Zone

Time zone offset

+0200

Transaction ID

Unique ID of the transaction. It is used to trace service calls through the call stack. The transaction log contains the first 40 characters of the transaction ID.

00000002d3b0bdc0000069ce00ff9700ea65376f

Request ID

Unique ID of request.

101

Component Name

Name of component that has been requested (not the name of the xUML service).

urn:Services.SupportCase.SupportAPI.supportcases.GET

Elapsed Time

Elapsed time, for each call (service calls, external or internal calls) in milliseconds.

If the elapsed time is displayed as "0", the logged step has taken below 1 millisecond of time. The value of elapsed time does not contain:

  • before SERVICE_ENTER

    • reading the request data from the network

    • parsing the request body (e.g. SOAP)

  • after SERVICE_EXIT

    • creating the response (e.g. SOAP)

    • sending the response to the client

36

State

State is either OK or ERROR.

OK

Domain

  • If an adapter has been called, the domain fields contains a value denoting the adapter, for instance SAPRFC, SQL, FILE, SYSAD, POP3, URL, etc.

  • If a service operation has been called, the value is INTERFACE.

  • If a log entry has been triggered by the user via the logger adapter, the value was defined in the UML model.

INTERFACE

Log Type

  • SERVICE_ENTER or SERVICE_EXIT marks the begin/end of a service call.

  • TRANSITION_ENTER or TRANSITION_EXIT marks the begin/end of persistent state transition handling.

  • DOACTION_ENTRY or DOACTION_EXIT marks the begin/end of a persistent state do activity.

  • IO_ENTER or IO_EXIT marks the begin/end of an IO operation, like e.g. an adapter call.

  • If the logger adapter triggered the log entry, the value is CUSTOM.

SERVICE_EXIT

Parameter 1 and 2

  • Parameters, for instance, if the file system adapter has been called, the first parameter corresponds to the executed action (e.g. ReadDirectory) and the second one to the specified file.

  • If the logger adapter triggered the log entry, the first parameter corresponds to the description defined as input for the adapter in the UML model.

anonymous 2.0.232.75

Correlation ID

Unique ID that relate an adapter call with the adapter response. The transaction log contains the first 40 characters of the correlation ID.

A correlation ID is available for the following:

  • adapters sending a correlation ID: SOAP, URL, SMTP, SAPRFC, Persistent State, JMS

  • services receiving a correlation ID: SOAP, HTTP, SAP, JMS Listener

For more information refer to Adapters in the xUML Service Reference Guide and Adapters in the Designer Guide.

Log Levels

The following transaction log levels can be set for each xUML service. The higher the log level the more information will be written to the log files. The log levels in the table below are cumulative and are ordered from the lowest to the highest log level. For each log level, also the information of the lower levels is logged.

Log Level

Log Types Logged

Description

None

Logging is disabled.

Custom

CUSTOM

Logs process information and custom log messages that have been implemented to the process. This is the minimum log level to use if KPIs (for Process Mining) should be logged to the process logs.

Service

CUSTOM
SERVICE_ENTER
SERVICE_EXIT
TRANSITION_ENTER
TRANSITION_EXIT
DOACTION_ENTER
DOACTION_EXIT

Logs custom messages, and calls to the service interface.

IOExternal

CUSTOM
SERVICE_ENTER
SERVICE_EXIT
TRANSITION_ENTER
TRANSITION_EXIT
DOACTION_ENTER
DOACTION_EXIT
IO_ENTER
IO_EXIT

Logs custom messages, calls to the service interface, and adapter calls to external systems.

IOInternal

CUSTOM
SERVICE_ENTER
SERVICE_EXIT
TRANSITION_ENTER
TRANSITION_EXIT
DOACTION_ENTER
DOACTION_EXIT
IO_ENTER
IO_EXIT

Logs custom messages, calls to the service interface, and adapter calls to external and internal systems.

Transaction ID

The Transaction ID identifies a transaction. It is a unique number used to trace service calls through the call stack of multiple service calls.

  • Clients calling a service running on the Bridge can provide a transaction ID in HTTP header X-Transaction-ID or xTransactionId (in JMS context).

  • SOAP clients can also use the SOAP headers to provide a transaction ID.

  • If an xUML service is called without providing a transaction ID, the xUML Runtime will generate such an ID.

This ID will be passed on through the call stack of the xUML service, so that the whole transaction can be traced. This can be useful, when analyzing the log file in case of error.

Transaction Log Domains

Each adapter logs to a dedicated domain:
