View publication tasks in Windows® Task Scheduler

Scheduler. You can view and edit these publication tasks from Windows® Task Scheduler.

> Administrative Tools > Scheduled Tasks.

Use the options in the Task Scheduler to view, edit, and manage tasks that you have scheduled from FrameMaker
Publishing Server.

Logs
FrameMaker Publishing Server includes extensive logging features. You can use the FrameMaker Publishing Server
logs to troubleshoot any publication task errors, and fix errors in the source documents such as unresolved cross-
references. You can define FrameMaker Publishing Server logs to have extensive reports including the number of
markers, pages, and so on.
You can specify the log settings for each publication task, or can use the default log settings for all tasks.

after that task is run. You can expand or collapse the log view.

You can access the publication task logs from the application
installation folder: %appdata%\Adobe\FrameMaker\Server\.
