Client and Server Logging
The Windchill Workgroup Manager for CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE logs are found in the folder containing the cadapp, with the crash logs from the CAD Adapter located in the CATTemp directory.
The logging capabilities of the Windchill Workgroup Manager client collect version information of Windchill Workgroup Manager client and CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE as well as preferences used by the Windchill Workgroup Manager client from the startup until the end of the session. You can find this information in the abstr_version_check.txt file located in the cadapp folder. Specifically, the log includes the following information:
• Version of Windchill Workgroup Manager client including minor version, maintenance release, and patches.
• Version of the CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE Abstraction Builder used to generate the DLL
• CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE version including the hot fix number for the CATIA development tool that was used to generate the DLL
• Windchill Workgroup Manager -relevant preferences used by the client. Since the Windchill Workgroup Manager client at startup is served by both active server-side preferences (for example, Windchill preferences) and preferences defined on the client slide (example: wgmclient.ini), this client initialization file includes the following information relevant to the Windchill Workgroup Manager client:
◦ <WWGM preference name 1 =<value>(<source>)
◦ <WWGM preference name 2=<value>(<source>)
◦ <WWGM preference name 3 =<value>(<source>)

<source> could be the client (driven by the value of the wgmclient.ini file), the server (the value from Windchill preference management) or the default. The default is used if a preference is not defined on the server or in the wgmclient.ini file. It is a hardcoded value that is defined as part of the client preference schema.
