Board Connector logs all steps performed on a system in log files. The log files are stored in the product directory
e.g.,: C:\Program Files\BOARDConnector\logs

Different types of log files are created.

Type Name Description Location path
Server ServiceLog.txt Contains the activities of BCService.exe. C:ProgramFiles\Board Connector\logs
Server WebServer-Log: yyyyMMddTHHmmss.fffZ.log, e.g., 20201013T055455.465Z.log The name contains the timestamp in UTC. A new file is created when the server is started, additionally a new log file is created every 24 hours. Theobald.Bc.Web.Listener.exe is the corresponding process. C:ProgramFiles\Board Connector\logs\servers\web\listener
Server Run-Logs: yyyyMMddTHHmmss.fffZ.log, e.g., 20201013T055455.465Z.log The name contains the timestamp in UTC. A new file is created when a TCP connection is accepted.Theobald.Bc.Web.Worker.exe is the corresponding process. C:ProgramFiles\Board Connector\logs\server\web\worker
Extraction Extraction logs: yyyyMMddTHHmmss.fffZ.log, e.g., 20201013T055455.465Z.log The name contains the timestamp in UTC. A new file is created to start an extraction. Theobald.Bc.Web.Worker.exe is the corresponding process. C:\Program Files\BOARDConnector\logs\extractions\[Name_der_Extaktion]

For more information on the server processes, see Server.

Tip: To redirect logs to another location, symlink the logs folder of the installation directory to a custom directory. Example for PowerShell:
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Target "E:\yuniolog" -Path "C:\Program Files\XtractProduct\logs"

Log Levels #

Each log entry is assigned to a so-called log level. There are the following log levels:

  • Errors are error messages issued during the extraction process.
  • Information - Status messages, about processes that do not lead to an error.
  • Warnings - Information about problems that do not lead to an extraction error. For example authentication errors.
  • Debug Details - detailed information that helps to find the reason for errors.

Reading Logs - Extraction Log #

To better understand the procedures of Board Connector, read the logs written in understandable language. The example log from Xtract Universal can be used as a reference, as the procedures are similar to Board Connector. The only difference is that Board Connector does not have destinations and data is always written to Board.
