Troubleshooting Automated Processes

Here’s a tip on determining which track is failing in Automated Processes. (This tip is also valid in GoldMine Premium Edition.)

Create a GM.ini entry for Automated Processes that will outline each step in every track. To do this, open the username.ini for the person you are logged in as and insert the following section:

[GoldMine]
APDebugLog=1

This will set the process monitor to report on each individual section of an Automated Process.

An example of The Process Monitor after this feature is enabled:
