Starting in Strategy 9.3.1, additional logging is available for Distribution Services. The "DS Trigger Trace" is useful when trying to determine what triggered a subscription execution. It can be found in the Strategy Diagnostics and Performance Logging tool as shown below:
Note: This log is not enabled by default. An existing or new "File Log" destination must be selected for this logging to be used.
When a subscription runs on a schedule or the "Send Now" feature is utilized, a subsequent job will be created for Distribution Services. This trace will display details about subscriptions that were triggered and the subscription recipients. The following entries are seen in the trace when a subscription is triggered:
