Log=Unattended
- logs every communication between the ATS-2 and TransAct.
When logging is on, it writes a lot of information to the
TRANSACT.LOG
file and should not be left on
indefinitely. Logging should be turned off once it has been used to determine the cause of an error
message or improper use of the system.
[Options]
The
[Options]
section contains the path and filename to the directory where the database resides. If
there is a problem running TransAct because the file cannot be found, check the path. When defaults
are selected during installation this line will look as follows...
SystemDB=C:\TRANSACT\TRANSACT.MDA
If the path or directory name have changed, delete the existing directory name and type in the new path
or directory name.
