An 'As Run' report is a log that contains all details regarding how an application has carried out its job, in this case, how Etere Automation has broadcasted scheduled events and what were the events. You can customize this report under the General Settings tab. In the log, the date and time are captured in dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss:ms format.
The 'As Run' log file is stored by default within Etere's installation folder in the following format:
[drive]:\Program Files\ETERE\Log\user.[station]\au.etereau.[station].[user].asrun.log, where:
- [drive] : Is the partition on which Etere is installed (e.g. C:\),
- [station] : The automation related station (e.g. 001, 002, 003, etc),
- [user] : The name of the workstation where the automation is running.
E.g., au.etereau.001.michael.asrun.log
