This SAS KB article provides instructions about how to enable SAS Workflow Studio log generation and debugging in order to troubleshoot a problem in SAS Workflow Studio.

On the client machine where Workflow Studio is installed, follow the steps below.

Step One: Enable Log Generation for SAS^® Workflow Studio 

1. Back up the workflowstudio.ini file that resides in the SASHOME\SASWorkflowStudio\1.3\ folder.

2. Right-click the workflowstudio.ini file and open it in a text editor (for example, Microsoft WordPad).

3. Modify the value of the APPLOGLOC= parameter in that file to either of the values that are shown here

• • applogloc=studio.log 
  • applogloc=your-file-system-location\studio.log

Notes: The value for APPLOGLOC= writes the studio.log file either to SASHOME\SASWorkflowStudio\1.3 or to your-file-systerm-location\studio.log. The user who launches SAS Workflow Studio requires Write permission to the folder to which the studio.log file is written.

4. Save the workflowstudio.ini file.

Step Two: Enable Debugging for SAS^® Workflow Studio 

1. Back up the log4j.xmil file that resides in SASHOME\SASWorkflowStudio\1.3 folder.
2. Edit the log4j.xml file VALUE="INFO" to VALUE="DEBUG", as shown below:

<root>
   <level value="debug" />
   <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
   <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</root>

3. Save log4j.xml file.

4. Relaunch the SAS Workflow Studio client. Re-create the issue and send the resulting studio.log file (with debugging enabled) from your client machine to SAS Technical Support.
