-LOG sdeploy option

The log (-LOG) option of the sdeploy utility command is used to enable the sdeploy logging capability. The log file will be produced with the results of each operation performed. The (-LOG) option has an optional parameter to specify the location or file name, or both, for the sdeploy log file. The scope of the sdeploy log depends on which (-ANALYZE, -BUILDMAPS, -GENERATE, or -DEPLOY) option has been chosen with the sdeploy utility command. The default file name for the sdeploy log will be msd_file_name.scl. The default location for the sdeploy log will be the directory where the msd file is located.

The file name or the location parameter, if specified with the (-LOG) option of the sdeploy utility command, could be the name of the directory where the sdeploy log file will be written, the full file path specification in which a wildcard can be used to represent the msd file, or the full path in which the complete filename can be specified. The default naming convention for the sdeploy log file is msd_file_name.scl. If the . is specified with the (-LOG) option, the sdeploy log will be written to the default location (directory where the msd file is located) using the default naming convention. If a wildcard is specified in the full path as sdeploy mysystems.msd -A -LOG C:\MyDev\Systemfiles\2002-02-28_*.results, the sdeploy log file will be produced in the C:\MyDev\Systemfiles directory with the 2002-02-28_mysystems.results naming convention. If the complete file name is specified as sdeploy mysystems.msd -A -LOG C:\MyDev\Systemfiles\mysystems_results.txt, the mysystems_results.txt will be produced in the C:\MyDev\Systemfiles directory.

If the sdeploy utility command is unable to create the sdeploy log file, the any operation of sdeploy will terminate and the Fatal error - Could not start processing, unable to create the log file fatal error message will display on the console. If nothing is specified in the command line for the log, by default, the command line assumes the (-LOG) option is included in the command line, and writes the log messages to the console.
