Setting up and retaining the activity logs and repository files

Adeptia Connect enables you to set the logging level, repository file retention, and activities logging retention level for a Transaction. These settings aid in configuring the extent of details captured in logs, managing the retention of repository files and activity logs, and enhancing the analysis of a Transaction's information. You can configure the logging level, the activity logs, and repository retention in the fields that are visible under the Advanced Settings option present on the Transaction Settings (Transaction) and Settings (Template) screen. 

Visibility of the fields under Advanced Settings may vary based on the Routing Type you select.

The following is an overview of each field:

1. Logging Level: This field sets the type of activity logs that should be produced in the log file. These logs are created at the application level and can be viewed in the Dashboard. You can select from either of the following options described in the given table:

Options	Description
Use From Process Flow	This option is visible only in case of a Custom Template or Transaction. Selecting this option sets the Logging Level based on the value configured in Process Flow associated with the Custom Template.
INFO	An intermediate logging level that captures important information about the transaction, such as when it started and ended, the number of records processed, execution details, etc.
DEBUG	The most detailed logging level, which generates information for each activity that you can use for tracing errors and troubleshooting. Setting DEBUG as the logging level generates a rather large file size which may impact the performance of your system.
