View SOAP fault information in the client log

When a SOAP fault or an exception occurs on the HPE Service Manager server, the SOAP fault information is written to the client log file. This information can assist support engineers and System Administrators in troubleshooting.

Service Manager logs SOAP fault information in the Windows or Web client log file (sm.log) as follows:

  • When a SOAP FAULT occurs, Service Manager logs the SOAP request, SOAP response, and SOAP fault information.
  • When a server session ends unexpectedly and an exception is thrown, Service Manager logs the SOAP request, SOAP response (if any), and the exception information.

Example

If a user is doing operations in the client (such as generating charts) and then a System Administrator kills the user's process from System Status, SOAP fault information like the following is logged in the client log file (sm.log):
