View logs

You can view the logs of the completed publication tasks in two ways:

In the Task dialog

In the Task dialog, click on the Log tab. The Log tab displays all the logs relevant to the task in a reverse chronological order.

In the FrameMaker Publishing Server application folder

FMPS store all logs under the base folder: %appdata%\Adobe\FrameMakerPublishingServer\17\

You can use log parsers to quickly collect publication-related reports from these logs.

The server component maintains the following logs:

• Access logs: The server access logs are stored in the following folder:

  %appdata%\Adobe\FrameMakerPublishingServer\17\Nodelogs\logs

  • Node logs: The Node js is another component of the server. The logs for this component are stored in the following folder:

    %appdata%.Adobe\FrameMakerPublishingServer\17\Nodelogs

    Error logs, warnings, information logs, and server restarts are logged here. The Node js opens a console for reporting logs, which can also be redirected to a temporary file using the command prompt.

The client component maintains the following logs:

• FMPSWorker: The client component (or worker/FrameMakerServerEx.exe) maintains any exception logs of its interaction with the FrameMaker instance in the following folder:
