CSV Log Files

The data setup utility creates the following types of comma separated value (CSV) log files:
  • summary log
  • detail log
  • error log
The logs contain information to help resolve problems that may occur while managing the configuration data. The CSV log files are generated only when generateCSVLogFiles is set to true.

The values in a CSV log file are separated by the character specified in csvLogFileDelimiter. When the character specified by the delimiter property appears in one of the values to be written to the file, it is replaced by a blank. For example, when the delimiter is a comma, and commas appear in the error description field; the commas in the error description field are replaced by blanks when the field is written to the CSV file.

All time data written to the CSV log files has the format HH:mm:ss.SSS where:
HH
is the hour
mm
are minutes
ss
are seconds
SSS
are milliseconds
When using Microsoft Excel to view the CSV log files, changing the spreadsheet format of the time cells to [h]:mm:ss.000 displays the time in a format that is easier to read.

The following sections describe the format of, and naming convention for, each CSV log file.
