 To clear all messages in the list, click Clear All.

Diagnostics log.
Viewing FactoryTalk Diagnostics logs
Use the FactoryTalk Diagnostics Viewer to view the contents of Diagnostics logs.
To open the FactoryTalk Diagnostics Viewer
 In FactoryTalk View Studio or in the FactoryTalk View SE Administration Console,
from the Tools menu, select Diagnostics Viewer.
Alternatively, select Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk
Tools > Diagnostics Viewer.
For details about setting up and using the viewer, from the viewer’s Help menu, select
FactoryTalk Diagnostics Viewer Help.
To open the Diagnostics Viewer at run time
1. In an FactoryTalk View graphic display, create a button that an operator can use to
open the Diagnostics Viewer.
2. For the button’s press action, type the following command:
AppStart “C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\RSView
Enterprise\ActivityLogViewer.exe”
You must include the quotation marks, because there are spaces in the parameter.
At run time, due to operating system rules, the Diagnostics viewer might open behind the
FactoryTalk View SE Client window. If you are unaware of this, and try to open the viewer again,
another instance will open. This could result in multiple viewers being open at the same time.
To avoid this, you can bring the viewer to the front manually, and close it when it is no longer
required. You can also use the programmatic solution documented in Answer ID 9041, in the
Rockwell Automation KnowledgeBase.
