The Error Log provides lots of details (ERRORs, WARNings, INFOrmation) about what's going on in Semarchy xDM. It is also called PDE Log (Plug-in Development Environment, because the Semarchy xDM Application Builder is based on Eclipse RAP).

It's an invaluable troubleshooting tool, and the Semarchy support team will often ask you to attach it to a support ticket.
