Is there any sort of logging when Transaction Groups are triggered, like what is provided/sent and what response is received, errors, etc.?

I have a nuisance Transaction where we are calling a mssql stored procedure that is successful executing, but the data isn't aligning, so I want to capture transactions for a shift and try to find the problem.

If there's no built-in recording, any suggestions to try and do a temporary logging setup easily to log all details of a transaction? The transaction has around 40 I/O into a mssql stored procedure.

Thanks!

I do not see a reply to this thread. Though it is quite old, is there an answer to this question? It would be helpful to know when changes are made to Transaction groups etc. Thank you!

In the Gateway Logs, there will be a logger `SQL Bridge.Gateway.TransactionGroup`. If you set that to DEBUG I would expect you to see information that may help.

The OP sounded like they were asking about **logging** , which would be an answer similar to @lrose. But you said "know when changes are made to transaction groups", which sounds like you want **auditing** :

If you enable auditing in your project, you'll get coarse information about what was changed and by whom within your project in the audit logs.
