  • 1.  Is there any SFG log file with Arrived and delivered file names captured

    Posted Fri February 05, 2021 12:21 PM
    Team,

    Is there any specific log file(s) that can give me partner's Arrived and delivered file names? I can get this info by query on 'FG_ARRIVEDFILE'   or FG_DELIVERY.  Also I have seen sftp_server.log capturing only SFTP transmitted file names.

    My ask is any single log file with producer and consumer file names in same log?

    -Thanks

    Hi Srini,

    Do you plan to do any log scraping on the logs files? If so, I don't think it is wise to depend on the log files for your requirements.

    The best is to rely on the filegateway reports on the filegateway admin GUI.

    Thank you Kishore.  Our requirement was to set alerts for users if the file transmission was success or not. Users doesn't have access to Admin dash board but they can access our logs. So they plan to use some tool to scrape the logs and setup some alerts. 

    I haven't explore Control Center yet, but it may be option to consider. 

    Thanks
    Srini

    Hi, 

    You can set the email notification from myfilegateway for each partner so that they will receive an alert when error occurs (Arrived File failed, Route Failed or etc.) and success file transfer.

    e.g.
    The following File Gateway routing event occurred Route Event Details:
    ===============================================================================
    Event Code: FG_0419
    Event Message: Delivery is now Complete.
    Producer: Jack
    Consumer: JackJack
    Producer Filename: TestingFTP
    Timestamp: 09/09/2020 01:06:14
    ===============================================================================

    Regards,
    Jack

    Seems strange that a user does not have an application ID, but they are authorized to scrape log files in the system.
    Best practiced alternative that will pass on audit is to use the user exits in the product and modify the process to create entries into a custom log file the required user(s) would have access to or push it the the system that is collecting the logs files if applicable.
