How to View Local Staging Events

  • Article

This topic provides steps for viewing Commerce Server Staging (CSS) events from the local event log. CSS provides reports for these events in the following categories:

  • Project. All the events related to a specific project.

  • Replication. All the events related to a specific deployment.

  • Full. All the events on the staging server.

  • Custom. You can create a custom query, for example, a query to select specific event codes. For example, if you want to see a report of the specific event 61112, Commerce Server Staging service started successfully, write the following expression in the WHERE text box, and then click Submit:

    CSSCode = 61112

You can view Commerce Server Staging (CSS) event reports on the Commerce Server Staging console or through your Web browser.

Note

You will have to set permissions for users to view the Web page. Users must have permission to view reports locally on the Commerce Server Staging console in order to view reports remotely in a Web browser. For more information, see How Are CSS Authentication Accounts Defined and Managed?
