Problem: Where to Get Call Studio Install Logs

Solution

Call Studio Install logs can be found in C:\Temp directory.

Here's an example snippet of the logs for a new installation:

Problem: Where to Get Call Studio Error Logs For Call Studio Applications

Solution

The Error Log view captures all the warnings and errors logged by plug-ins. The underlying log file is a .log file stored in the .metadata subdirectory of the workspace. The Error Log view is available under Window > Show View > Error Log.

Event Sorting

Events in the log view can be sorted by Message, Plug-in ID or Date in ascending or descending order. Simply click on the column header that you want the sorting to be based on. The down arrow in the column header indicates descending order; while, the up arrow indicates an ascending order.

Event Grouping

Events in the log view can be grouped by Session or Plug-in ID. Simply click on the chevron from the view's toolbar and select Group By.

Event Filtering

You can filter the view to show events of a particular type or session. Also, you can limit the number of entries in the view. Filtering options are available under Filters... from the view's toolbar drop down menu.

Import and Export Logs

To import an arbitrary .log file into the view, press the Import Log toolbar button or select Import Log... from the context menu. Then, choose a .log file from the file system.

To export the current log view content into a file, press the Export Log toolbar button or select Export Log... from the context menu. Then, enter a file name.

Clear and Delete Logs

To clear the view log content without deleting the underlying .log file, press the Clear Log toolbar button or select Clear Log Viewer from the context menu.

To permanently delete the underlying .log file, press the Delete Log toolbar button or select Delete Log from the context menu.

Event Details

Full details about a particular event can be viewed in the Event Details dialog by double-clicking on a particular entry or selecting Event Details from the context menu of that entry. You can view the Date, Severity, Message, Exception Stack Trace (if available) and Session Data of each event.

You can navigate from one entry to the next via the Up and Down arrow buttons.

To copy the error to the clipboard, press the button with the clipboard image.

Problem: Where to Get Call Studio Logs for Application Validation

Solution

As you work with resources in the workbench, various builders can automatically log problems, errors, or warnings in the Problems view. For example, when you save a Java source file that contains syntax errors, those get logged in the Problems view. When you double-click the icon for a problem, error, or warning, the editor for the associated resource automatically opens to the relevant line of code. 

By default the Problems view groups your problems by severity. You can also group them by type or not at all. Certain components add their own grouping. For instance the Java development tools (JDT) support adds a Java Problem Type group. The grouping can be selected using the Group By menu.

The first column of the Problems view displays an icon that denotes the type of line item, the category and the description. Left-click the item to open the file in an editor and highlight the line containing the problem.

You can configure the contents of the Problems view to view only warnings and errors associated with a particular resource or group of resources. This is done using the Configure Contents dialog available from the drop down menu. You can add multiple filters to the Problems view and enable or disable them as required. Filters can either be additive (any problem that satisfies at least one of the enabled filters will be shown) or exclusive (only problems that satisfy all of the filters will be shown) The two most popular filters (All Errors and Warnings on Selection) are provided by default.

Problems can be fixed by selecting Quick Fix from the context menu. The list of possible resolutions are presented.

To add the Problems view to the current perspective, click Window > Show View > Other... > General > Problems.
