Collecting Error and Trace Messages

The ALI Formatting Tool (AFT) logs errors, warnings, record changes, and 

information messages using a logging device that is similar to the one that 

Cisco Emergency Responder (Cisco ER) uses.

Note

Un installing AFT does not remove the AFT logs. This allows you to use the logs 

to find details about old AFT transactions.

For bulk operations, AFT logs information related to the bulk operation, not 

individual record updates.
