Set Logfile Handling

Tools Supported: FastScan and FlexTest

Scope: All modes

Usage

SET LOgfile Handling [filename] [-Replace -Append]

Description

Specifies for the tool to direct the transcript information to a file.

The Set Logfile Handling command causes the tool to write the transcript information, which includes the commands and the corresponding output (if any), into the file you specify. You can execute the Set Logfile Handling command at any time, as many times as you need.

In the logfile, the command keyword precedes all commands that the tool executes. You can easily search for the executed commands, generate a separate dofile containing those commands, and then execute the dofile, thereby rerunning those commands within the tool.

When you set the logfile handling, the tool still writes the same information to the session transcript window in addition to the logfile. However, you can disable the writing of the information to the transcript window with the Set Screen Display command.

If you want to stop writing to a logfile, issue the Set Logfile Handling command with no options, which closes the appropriate files.

Arguments

filename

A string that specifies the name of the file to which you want the tool to write the transcript output. This string can be a full pathname or a leafname. If you only specify a leafname, the tool creates the file in the directory from which you invoked the tool.

If you do not specify a filename, the tool discontinues writing logfiles and closes the appropriate files.
