Process execution log files

Capturing process execution data is simple, but log files can grow significantly over time. You can disable these log files for normal processing on production systems.

Logging settings are available from the Process Definition dialog box which is available when you create or edit a process definition. You can also specify logging settings when you upload a process using Infor Process Designer.

These are the available work unit logging levels:

Disabled: No data is stored in the log file. We recommend to use this setting for a process that is running successfully and is not in need of troubleshooting.
Enabled: The log file captures data about work units only as they are created and move through the system.

Any selection in addition to None can negatively affect performance.

Note: Each activity node within a work unit can retain a maximum of 1 MB of log data per run. For example, if an Assign activity node runs within a loop 100 times, it can generate up to 1 MB of logs per iteration. This results in a total of 100 MB. If the log output from any activity node exceeds 1 MB during a single run, the system trims the output to retain only the most recent 1 MB. This ensures visibility of newly added log entries.

This limitation affects only the logging behavior. Activity nodes can still generate output that exceeds 1 MB, and the output remains fully accessible within the flow. The 1 MB limitation applies only to the amount of log data retained per run, not the actual output generated by the activity node.
