A program's error log, as in the Manager for example, collects all the messages, such as error messages and warnings, that have occurred since the program started. The error log is reinitialized when the program is restarted.

To display items from the Manager error log

1. In the Manager, select the View | Error log menu item.
2. Enable the view in the error log toolbar.

You can configure how the messages are displayed in the error log. To do this, switch the error log to advanced mode by clicking on the right of the column headers. Here you have the possibility to debug individual actions.
