The FTP send and Mail send tools produce a log file with processing results. This log file is carried along the outgoing log connections.
In PowerSwitch this log file can be associated with the job as a metadata dataset by using a "data with log" connection (see the "Carry this type of files" property of traffic-light connections).
The processing results log file uses the XML data model with a simple schema without namespaces.
The XML document element name is "ProcessingResults". It contains a sequence of elements with a name and contents as described in the following table. If a data item is not applicable, the corresponding element may be missing.
