The following are examples of different log messages:
Failed Commit: When the request is committed unsuccessfully.
Partial Commit: When only a part of the request is committed successfully. These log messages vary based on whether the request is a metadata import or a user-initiated request.
-
User-Initiated Example: You have multiple line items in a user-initiated request and for one of the lines, the parent member doesn’t exist. This will fail the commit for that single line item but will commit all the other line items.
-
Metadata Import File Example: You have a Metadata File with a line item that does not have an existing parent member. When on the Commit step, everything but that line item will be committed to your Dimension Library.
Successful Commit: When all line items in your request (Metadata Import or User-Initiated) have been successfully committed.
Request Activity
The Request Activity log can be found on the Requests details page and shows a running log of the current activity specific to a selected request. For more information on the request details page, see Request Pages.
