In-client support
Matillion ETL hosts support information for each component through the Help tab in the component's Properties panel. Selecting a component on the canvas and then browsing to the Help tab will expose a brief version of the online documentation for that component.
At the bottom of the Help tab will always be a link to the full online documentation that will open in a new browser window.
Help us support you
We always want to deal with a problem or question promptly and effectively, so when raising tickets, please provide as much relevant information as you can. These might include:
- Screenshots of jobs or errors.
- Log files from your Matillion ETL instance. See details for connecting here. The log file we need most in the case of a serious error is /var/log/tomcat/catalina.out.
- The Catalina.out file can also be accessed by clicking Admin, then Download Server Log. This will trigger a download of your Catalina.out file.
- Any transformation or orchestration jobs you want to share via Project → Export.
Additionally, client details can be easily obtained by browsing to Help → Support Information inside Matillion ETL.
