Batch job history log button security permissions for a custom role

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by M Anas Khan 1,424

Hi Community!

I am facing an issue while configuring a security permission for Log button on Batch job history form for a custom role. The requirement is user with custom role should be able to view Log messages for any batch ended in error. 

System administration > Inquiries > Batch jobs > Batch job history

Clicking Log button runs a form method element.showLog() which gets data from BatchHistory and BatchJobHistory tables.

BatchJobHistory::showLog(batchJobHistory.RecId)

I have configured security privileged like below which is added to duty then role then to user.

User with custom role can see the Log button but when clicks the button, it doesn't show any of the error messages for failed batches. Any thoughts what I am missing here?

    Does it shows info message for passed(Status: Ended) batch job history records.?

    Secondly, can you please check if the batch job has configuration to save logs on Error ?

    We can see the log for failed batches with sysadmin role but not with custom role. And system doesn't show any log for successful batches even with sysadmin role. So I guess this is standard, haven't checked the technical details though.

    Hi Muhammad,

    Does the user still have the System user role assigned? Initially, I would think the privilege is setup correctly with form, table and button access. The additional table permissions might not be required as there is already access to them via the form permissions, but is OK.

    I want to comment on this line "And system doesn't show any log for successful batches even with sysadmin role."

    It can be possible that in the configuration of the batch job, notifications of info type have been disabled. For every batch job you can enable/disable the three types of the notifications i.e. Errors, Warnings, Info
