Process Logs

Auto Shop Writer uses an automatic update system mounted on your server.  It runs all of the time.  It also handles the transmission of data to 3rd party vendors with whom you elect to do business.

For each activity, the system creates a record with the result of the event.  The auto updater cycles every 3 hours, and each time there may be 4 to 10 entries for activities, including backups.

You can view the log from any workstation, using Tools - Process Log button and menu option.  The most recent activity will be at the bottom so simply drag the slider down to view it.

You especially want to see if there are gaps in processing.  If you receive an alert message, you will be able to see when the last successful processing took place.  If there is an interruption,  you can restart the auto updater at the server.  Under the Windows All Programs option, look for the Startup folder.  You should see ASWupdater or MLS9aus.exe.  Double click on the entry and the updater will restart.  You can also reboot the server for it to start automatically.
