The Error Log lists any errors Horizon finds during a record import. By logging the errors, Horizon helps you keep your database error‑free. After a record import, the MARC Import Status window tells you of any errors and displays a batch number. You look up the batch in the Data Load Error Log and deal with the errors one at a time. After you resolve each error, you delete its reference in the error log. This keeps your error log current, so you know which errors you still need to resolve.
To use the Error Log
1 | Start the Data Load Error Log process. |
The default location of this process is the Administration folder on the navigation bar.
Horizon starts the table editor and displays the List Error Log window:
2 | Do one of these options: |
• | Sort the list by batch and error number to display the errors from the batch that you want to work with in order. |
• | Choose File, followed by one of the search options (Search, Where clause, or Compound Search), and locate the errors that you want to work with. |
(For more information, see “Using the List Search Window” in the “Getting Started” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)
• | Scroll through the List Error Log window to find an error that you want to work with. |
3 | Double‑click on the error that you want to view in detail. |
Horizon opens the Edit Error Log window:
The Edit Error Log window displays information that describes the error and Horizon’s resolution of it. It may also display the record in the lower panel. If it does, you can scroll through the record and look for the title. If you need to take further action with this record, make a note of the title and author so that you can open it in the MARC Editor. (For more information, see Finding and Opening an Existing Bib Record.)
4 | When you finish using the Edit Error Log window, click Close. |
5 | When you finish using the Error Log, choose File, Exit. |
