Configure Project Builder logging

You can enable logging by following these steps:

  1. Open the configuration file located at \Program Files (x86)\Tungsten\Transformation\ProjectBuilder.exe.config.
  2. In the configuration file, locate the following section: 
    <!-- New logSettings section -->
  <logSettings>
    <add key="EnableLogging" value="false" />
    <add key="LogLevel" value="Debug" />
    <add key="LogPath" value="C:\Temp" />
    <add key="PurgeDays" value="5" />
  </logSettings>
  3. To enable logging set the EnableLogging value to "true".
  4. Set the LogLevel value to one of the following values:

    • Debug (Default) - records fine-grained informational events that you can use to troubleshoot and debug the application.

    • Error - records error events that may allow the application to continue running.

    • Info - Records informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at a detailed level.

    • Warning - Records potentially harmful situations.

  5. Set the LogPath value to a location where you want to store the logs. (Default: C:\Temp)
  6. Set the PurgeDays value to the number of days to retain the log files. (Default: 5)
  7. Save the configuration file.

    Each time a project is opened, a new log file is created with the following naming format:

    Tungsten_PB_YYYY_MM_DD_HH24.MI.SE-UniqueID.txt, where HH24 is the hour in 24-hour format, MI is the minute, and SE is the seconds.

    For example, Tungsten_PB_2024-10-14_14.57.49-20196.txt.
