Event Logging
It is a good idea to enable Event Logging so that you can check how your programs have
executed. Event Logging is a useful tool for troubleshooting. An Event Log file is stored by
date in c:\fmw\log\<yyyymmdd>.log. To read the current file, select View from the
Programming Window menu and then select Log File.
?NOTE You must remember to “clean out” the Event Log directory regularly,
otherwise it will fill up the hard disk. Use File Manager to remove old files.
To setup Event Logging
1. Select Setup Event Logging from the Configuration menu.
2. Select the Categories for which you wish to keep log files and Enable or Disable
the Event options for each listed system element. You can enable or disable
individual elements by double-clicking directly on the element. Use the scroll bar to
see more Categories. Refer to Figure 6-2 for information on the dialog box options.
