Log files can be saved to individual files automatically by selecting Options |
Log File Settings from the LogTool menu and selecting To Disk for the
appropriate log. In addition to controlling whether the logs are saved to files,
Log File Settings also lets you set the size and number of log files that are
created. One set of log files each is created for the Transaction,
Communication, and Object State logs. For the Low Level I/O logs, one set of
logs will be created for each of the root level devices in the network. Once the
maximum number of logs have been created (set by the File Count) the next
log file created will overwrite the oldest file.
The following settings are used to save the logs to disk as well as to control the
number and size of the log files.
To Disk – Selecting this check box enables saving the associated logs to files
on the server computer hard disk.
File Count – This setting determines the number of log files to be saved to
disk for this type of log. The server will store up to the number specified
before overwriting the oldest log.
File Size – This setting determines how big the log file is allowed to grow
before being saved to an archived file. The $ sign identifies the active file.
Once a file reaches the specified File Size, it is saved to disk with a sequential
number beginning with 0 (e.g. tran0.log, tran1.log, tran2.log…).
16.3 Controlling “Show Hints” Feature
VisualWeather version 3.1.3 and newer have the ability to control the “Show
Hints” feature. A Windows error message has occurred when accessing
VisualWeather remotely using tools such as LogMeIn® or similar applications
and then rolling the cursor over an object in VisualWeather with a hint
attached to it. Turning the “Show Hints” feature off has resolved the problem
for most applications.
By default the “Show Hints” feature is enabled. To turn the feature off go
through the following steps.
