The Activity Log integration template retrieves information from the Informatica Cloud activity log and produces a formatted output using a user-defined XSLT script. You can use this template to view a list of custom integration jobs, as well as any other tasks that recently ran. The output indicates if a task completed, completed with errors, or failed to complete.
You can download this integration template from the Informatica Marketplace, here.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <h2>Activity Logs</h2> <table border="1"> <tr bgcolor="#9acd32"> <th>Type</th> <th>Name</th> <th>Start Time</th> <th>End Time</th> <th>Success</th> <th>Failed Target Rows</th> <th>Success Target Rows</th> <th>Failed Source Rows</th> <th>Success Source Rows</th> </tr> <xsl:for-each select="ActivityLogResponse/entries/ActivityLogEntry"> <tr> <xsl:if test="success != 1"> <xsl:attribute name="style">background-color:#FFCCCC;</xsl:attribute> </xsl:if> <td><xsl:value-of select="type"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="objectName"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="startTime"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="endTime"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="success"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="failedSourceRows"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="successSourceRows"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="failedTargetRows"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="successTargetRows"/></td>
</tr> </xsl:for-each> </table> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> |
- Row Limit (Activity Log). Enter the number of rows you want returned from the activity log.
Additional Notes:
- In some cases the output file might get truncated. If this happens delete the output file, edit and save the task, and run the task again.
- If you don’t want to use the source file for storing a clear-text password, you can encrypt the password and decrypt it in the template. You can also code the password inside the template.
