Transaction Reports

Finding a Transaction

Once you've started a a transaction, you can view reports for the transaction.

Reports are found in the "Reports" screen. Select "Reports" from the left to view this screen.

From this screen you can view reports from a specific date range by selecting the date "From" and "To" dates at the top.

Each transaction will be listed by the job name it's associated with.

Transaction Actions

Once you find the transaction you're interested in, you can use the "Action" drop down to select what details or report to view.

There are three options for reports and details for a transaction.

Run Transaction Report
Run Diff Report
Show More Details

Run Transaction Report

By selecting "Run Transaction Report" you can view a report on the transaction that lists the steps performed and details about each step of the transaction.

Each "Detail" has data that can be viewed to see some of the additional information about each step that the transaction has performed.

By pressing the "View Detail Data" button a drawer will open that shows additional information about the step.

Run Diff Report

By selecting "Run Diff Report" you can view a diff report for a transaction between repos.

From here you can select which destination endpoint to view a diff for by selecting it from the drop down. (This example only has one destination to select.)

When viewing a diff, you can filter by missing content, updated content, or new content.

When a content is "Updated,"To view the diff of that content, press the "View Details" button in the "Action" column for that content.

This will then open a drawer on the right which shows the fields of the content which were updated, and the differences for the updated content.

You can view the differences for each field by selecting it at the top of the drawer.

Note: Diff reports will only show diffs for main content. That is content which is directly picked up and is not a dependency. i.e., the content type value for the dotCMS job option Contenttype

Note: Diff reports will only work if the destination endpoint uses a level 3 connector (source and destination) and has both source and destination config. If the endpoint is level 3 and does not have both source and destination config, the diff report will not show a difference.

Note: Diff reports do not diff for relationships. This includes relationships between content and relationships between content and files. e.g., Motation field type Relationship or File
