Inspecting application server logs

You can inspect the application server logs if you have access to the AEM forms Server. Logs are useful for looking at Java exception tracebacks to provide information on processes that may have stalled or have encountered errors. If you used the Variable Logger service in your process, you can also view the logs to see variable values that are written to application server logs.

Depending on the application server and how you installed AEM forms will determine the location of the server logs. For example, in a JBoss turnkey installation, the application server logs are located at [install directory] \Adobe\AEM forms\jboss\server\all\logs where [install directory] represents the location where AEM forms was installed. For information about application server logs, see Administering AEM forms .

You can also install the server log viewer to inspect the application server logs without access to the application server.
