I have mentioned in many of my articles about importance of logs and how to enable them. Today I am posting a video tutorial showing how to enable logs through environmental variables in windows environment for dedicated client and tools.
I hope this will help newbies in using logs and debugging issues easy.

In video you will see me setting the value of variable SIEBEL_LOG_EVENTS as ALL but you can also set it as any integer value between 1-5 though 3 and 5 are often used values where 5 means logs will be as detailed as they can be and 3 means logs in less details.

Hi neel,
toxcct again
On our project, to test some of our big scripts, I made our logging system, which is done like this:
- In ‘Administration - Application > System Preferences’, I added a record:
Name : eScript Log_Debug Active
Value : TRUE (or FALSE)
- In every script to have debug logs, here are what to add:
-> In the “(declaration)” Section:
var bDebugModeOn = (TheApplication().GetProfileAttr(”eScript Log_Debug Active”) == “TRUE”);
var strLogDebugFile = Clib.getcwd() + “\\..\\log\\eScript - BC [" + this.Name() + "].log”;
The first global variable gets the state of the System Preference once and sets in a boolean if the logs are enabled or not.
The second global variable sets the log output file. Like it’s done here, it will be written in the log/ folder of the application. Of course, if we’re changing ‘BC’ with ‘Applet’ or ‘BS’ depending on what kind of script we’re debugging.
-> and we’re declaring the following function:
function Log_Debug(DataString) {
if (bDebugModeOn) {
var file = Clib.fopen(strLogDebugFile,’at’);
var d = Date.fromSystem(Clib.time());
var dt = Clib.rsprintf(”%02d/%02d/%04d %02d:%02d:%02d”,
d.getMonth()+1, d.getDate(), d.getFullYear(),
d.getHours(), d.getMinutes(), d.getSeconds());
DataString = “[" + dt + "] ” + DataString;
Clib.fputs(DataString + “\n”, file);
Clib.fclose(file);
}
}
- Then each time we have to log some stuff, we do this :
Log_debug(”Hello World !”);
(of course, adapt the string you want to log ^^ )
Like this, a log file in the application logs directory will be created with the same name than your buscomp/applet/busService, and only when the System Preference is enabled…
