[sqr-users] Log/Trace File

["White, Denise" <DEWhite@vicr.com>]

This forum is not intended to be a substitute for using a manual.  Many of us 
DO use manuals, and we still need this forum, because not everything can be 
determined or debugged using the manual.  Very basic questions usually can be 
answered by looking in the manual.  That is why some of us do tend to get a bit 
frustrated when novices don't even bother trying to research their very basic 
questions before posting a question.  I understand where Clark was coming from, 
and I also appreciate that he thought better of it and apologized (after he 
woke up - LOL!).

I think that PeopleSoft has confused things a bit with the way they label the 
files in Process Monitor.  What they are calling 'Trace File' is, indeed, the 
'SQR log file'.  This is the file you would get in c:\temp\sqr.log (or wherever 
you have your -o flag set) if you were to run the job using SQRW (or run it on 
the client in older versions of PeopleSoft).  So, what PeopleSoft is now 
calling a trace file is actually what SQR itself considers to be the log file.  
Therefore, the correct way to write to the log file is still DISPLAY or SHOW.  
How PeopleSoft produces what they call 'Message Log', which shows all of the 
process parameters, I do not know.  But it is not the 'SQR log file', as you 
call it; that IS the 'Trace File'.

If we all were to use manuals we wouldnt need such a forum..

Anyways, I wanted to know how to write to an SQR log file not trace file.

Show and display can of course be used to write to a trace file. Is it 
possible to write onto the log file which the process scheduler uses? 

Just a tht..

[sqr-users] apology







All,

This morning I posted a suggestion which, due to the earliness of the 
morning, may be construed to be a bit harsher than I intended.  It wasn't 
my 
intention to embarrass or put down anyone; I was just offering a 
suggestion, 
since sometimes it's faster to have a printed resource available rather 
than 
having to wait for the group.

Pklease accept the apology.

peace,
clark 'the dragon' willis
