Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress 4GL Reference

LOGFILE-NAME attribute

The name of log file OpenEdge uses to log messages and 4GL stack trace information.

Data type: CHARACTER

Access: Readable/Writeable

Applies to: LOG-MANAGER system handle

If the filename you supply is a relative pathname, then a file is accessed relative to the current working directory. If the filename is an absolute pathname, then the specified file is accessed.

Note: Do not include a numbered sequence in the filename. This might conflict with the rolled over log files OpenEdge creates based on your NUM-LOG-FILES attribute and LOG-THRESHOLD attribute settings.

When the specified log file is open, this attribute is read-only.

The LOGFILE-NAME attribute corresponds to the Client Logging (-clientlog) startup parameter.

Use the LOG-ENTRY-TYPES attribute or the Log Entry Types (-logentrytypes) startup parameter to specify one or more types of log entries you want to write to the log file. Use the LOGGING-LEVEL attribute or the Logging Level (-logginglevel) startup parameter to specify the level at which log entries are written to the log file.

For more information about the Log Entry Types (-logentrytypes) and Logging Level (-logginglevel) startup parameters, see OpenEdge Deployment: Startup Command and Parameter Reference and OpenEdge Development: Debugging and Troubleshooting .
