Policy Deviation Log and Error File

The policy deviation calculation writes a new log during each deviation calculation. This log also contains error messages and is stored in ACInstallDir/data/devcalc/deviation.log

Use this log when the deviations you see in your reports (that are retrieved from the DMS) are not gathered from the last time a deviation calculation should have run. It can help you diagnose why the deviation calculation results were not sent to the DMS.
