If you use System.out.println() (or better - use org.log4j.Logger) your messages will end up in the log file, and if run from the command line (Windows: taverna-debug.bat), also printed on the console. We don't have a log viewer as such, but you can see the folder of logs by clicking Advanced -> View log folder. The request for a log/debug console at http://www.mygrid.org.uk/dev/issues/browse/T2-1276 is similar - but when we asked users about this they indicated that they would like one log per workflow run, and more on the level of 'Started X' rather than internal Taverna debugging. They would also want filtering and searching rather than just a flat file listing. Most likely the logs from your activity would also be more interesting for the user running a workflow in the same way as 'Connected to service Y' rather than going with Taverna's internal "Did something magical" - but for now I would simply use log4j and inspect the taverna.log. WARN and ERROR messages should also appear on the console - modify conf/log4j.properties to include/exclude. We can probably do some clever tricks (..) to capture logs per workflow run by doing something with thread groups.. any volunteers? :) -- Stian Soiland-Reyes, myGrid team School of Computer Science The University of Manchester ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources and provide services.
