Looking at the Output Generator log files

There are three main Output Generator log files: service logs, transformation logs, and DITA Open Toolkit logs.

Table 1. Output Generator logs
Logs Location Description
Service logs %OutputGenDir%/logs/ wrapper.log Contain information about the execution of the Output Generator service.
Look at these logs if the Output Generator cannot be started properly, or if you get the following error message:
The Output Generator is not available. Please contact your system administrator.
Transformation logs <job_id>.build.html (stored in zipped output file) Contain information about the execution of the Output generator conductor files. This file is generated by the Output Generator.

Look at these logs to investigate issues that are related to executing processors and conductor files.

Open Toolkit logs <Job_id>.ot.log (stored in zipped output file) Contain information about the execution of the DITA-OT transformation. This is the log file generated by the DITA-OT.

Look at these logs to investigate issues that are related to the DITA-OT transformation, for example to check for invalid hyperlinks.

Note: To return the .build.html and .ot.log log files in the zipped output file, set the keep.log.files system parameter to true in the %OutputGenDir%/conf/client/preprocessors.xml file in a preprocessor element.
