Description

Default value

INCLUDE_ERROR_LOGS_TO_DETAILS

This parameter defines whether error logs of PI Channel should be also reported into detail table. Error logs are defined under Process Log element in PI Channel data structure. Not every error PI Channel has these error logs available.

By default, the error logs are also reported into detail table (if any available). If any error logs identified in Process Log, this might lead to a case that for one error PI Channel might be reported more records into a detail table (one record for the error PI Channel and other records based on processed error logs).

If this parameter is disabled (has an empty value), no error logs are processed. In this scenario, only one record is always reported for one error PI Channel into detail table. The number of records in detail table is the same as the calculated KPI for error PI Channels.
