Datalogging
This section describes several datalogging tasks.
Datalogging is described in Information Management,
Chapter 2; see “Structure of the Datalogging Files.”
Occasionally, the datalogging process may require your
attention. If a 3070 system fails to log data, do the
following:
■ Verify that the translogd process, which
automatically transfers log data from source
queues to destination queues, is running. To do
this, use the Processes tab in the Windows Task
Manager. If datalogging files are present in the
source queues, translogd transfers them to the
destination queues for processing by quality
management software.
■ Verify that the tld.conf configuration file used
by translogd is present and is not corrupt.
Locate the file in the directory:
$AGILENT3070_ROOT/qm/logdata/
Unless you have modified this file, it should be
exactly like the original in the directory
$AGILENT3070_ROOT/standard.
■ Use an ASCII editor, such as Notepad or Wordpad
to examine the translogd error file to see if any
error messages were logged there. The error file
is:
$AGILENT3070_ROOT/qm/logdata/tld.log
After you have corrected a datalogging problem,
you can delete the error messages, but do not
delete the file.
CAUTION
✸
You must never delete the tld.log error file.
■ A repetitive error will cause the
$AGILENT3070_ROOT/qm/logdata/tld.log
error file to grow without bounds. If the size of the
file exceeds 2.5 Megabytes, the following
message will be printed on a DOS window which
will pop up:
■ WARNING -- TRANSLOGD IS
EXPERIENCING ERRORS. LOG FILE IS
'<path>'
■ LOG FILE SIZE TOO LARGE
(LIMIT=<number> SIZE=<number>)
■ PLEASE EXAMINE (THEN TRUNCATE) THIS
FILE!
■ You may need to clear out the directories where
datalogging information is stored (the board
subdirectories beneath the testerq directory or
the log data files beneath the pbqmq directory).
Under normal circumstances, these files are
removed automatically once they have been
processed.
