THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

EFT Server, all versions*
*Not all messages are available in every version; this document is provided simply to explain that if you get this message, this is what it might mean.

DISCUSSION

Certain EFT Server events, such as service startup and failure, appear in the Windows Event Viewer Application Log.

Click the Source column header to group the GlobalSCAPE logs together.
The Category column displays the component, if applicable, that caused the log to be written. In the example above, ARM appears in the Category column. (ARM did not start because it was unable to connect to the database.)

When the trial period ends for modules for which you did not purchase a license, an information error appears in the Event Log to indicate the module has expired.

EFT Server and EFT Server Enterprise write a variety of messages to the Event Viewer. Typical messages are shown in the table below.
