Several common problems can cause errors in publishing objects from Windchill PDMLink to a target system. You can diagnose these problems by searching the available message logs and coordinating your resolution efforts with your system administrator.

To diagnose the issue, the Enterprise Systems Transaction Administration GUI logs the error messages for the overall transaction and associated subtransactions. By clicking the link for the subtransaction or transaction, the associated error messages can be viewed.

Below are the formats for the error message that are logged in the GUI for a transaction and associated subtransaction:

<Name of the Java exception caused by the problem>: <Message associated with the exception providing details of the problem that caused the failure>

For example:

javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25

<Message indicating the failure, and having the business object number and target name information>|<Name of the Java exception caused by the problem and the associated error message>

For example:

System errors occurred when publishing "0000000081" to distribution target "E-mail".| javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25
