RE: [U2] [BB] Does UD need the equivalent of uv/errlog?
Charles: This has been requested years ago. I've also posted a list of basic (not BASIC) enhancements to old the U2 "Better and Better" list. I don't know if it's still there, but I couldn't find it. So, I'm revising it to post again. :-) I'm was very surprised this isn't a normal part of UD. The enhancement is essential in the current IT environment where access to U2 is via pipes, sockets, web, and other means where noone is watching the results on a screen and BASIC is the ideal language to use in this environment. But, hey, that's just me...I have a tendency to make mistakes when developing applications. :-) Bill >-Original Message- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of >Stevenson, Charles >Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 8:23 AM >To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org >Subject: [U2] [BB] Does UD need the equivalent of uv/errlog? > >Is there a UniData enhancement request buried in the discussion below? > >UniVerse has a handy file called $UVHOME/errlog that logs runtime error >messages (and a few things that aren't really errors) that normally >appear on the screen or &PH& file of the user generating the error.

RE: [U2] [BB] Does UD need the equivalent of uv/errlog?
Yes, I think the errlog is a great feature on universe. I utilize a background phantom process to monitor the file and send an email of recent errors every few minutes. It is a great way to see what programs have issues especially if you make a coding mistake and a user receives a 'variable unassigned' error for example. Not that that ever happens -Troy [snip] If there is interest in this - the best way to get visibility for the request is to open a support case and ask to be added to that ecase.

I've included a program below that runs every day on my system where I
strip out anything in the errlog file I don't want to see. I hope it may
be of use to you. The 2 included files have to do with printer formatting
and other common variables that should be self explanatory. They might not
even be used as they are included in just about every program I write. Oh,
and sorry about the wrapped lines.

John, No, but you have to *create* the file before UV will use it (yes, I know it's nuts, but "it's always been that way") Just "touch errlog" in the right directory.

Mike, I just saw your reply and created the file. Thanks for the tip.
I don't have any data in it yet, but I guess that's a good sign.

RE: [U2] [BB] Does UD need the equivalent of uv/errlog? [not-secure]
Is there a UniData enhancement request buried in the discussion below? UniVerse has a handy file called $UVHOME/errlog that logs runtime error messages (and a few things that aren't really errors) that normally appear on the screen or &PH& file of the user generating the error. It shows what, who, when, & where the error occurred. Does Unidata need the same? Chuck S While I'm not a UD user, I should think that it would benefit from the errlog function. But everyone would benefit by making it smarter... I would like to be able to configure it similar to syslog. I'd like 'low grade' errors either logged elsewhere or not at all... Usually half of my error log is generated from menu errors: " Invalid command. Type "?" for help." Usually someone has put a book on their Enter key Right now the only configurable option is the number of lines before the log rolls over. I'd like to have the option of pushing the error messages to the syslog service, where I could then do with them what I like. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
