Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise

Issue/Introduction

It is sometimes necessary to see the CA PPM "Advanced Reporting (Jaspersoft) logs to troubleshoot why a report is not failing.

How can CA PPM On-Demand (SaaS) customers do this?

Unlike CA PPM On-Premise customers, there is no direct access by a customer to the Jaspersoft log folder.

Environment

Advice is relevant for both CA PPM On-Demand (SaaS) and On-Premise customers, on all versions.

On-Premise customers have direct access to the jasperserver.log if needed.

Resolution

If you Schedule a Report, you can send the Stack Trace to an email address.

This will contain any error messages generated while the report was attempting to run.

From CA PPM Advanced Reporting (Jaspersoft), Schedule a Report.

At the bottom right, there are options to enable a "Stack trace."

Enable these, and re-run the report.

When you receive the report, it will contain output similar to the following:
