Log and Trace Record Format

Log and trace records consist of a variable number of columns of data, separated by tab characters.

Log and Trace Record Columns
Column	Description
Record Type	The record type, for example, Log Header or TraceEntryExit
DateTime	The date and time the record was published
Object Name	The name of the access service, access service library, or server that generated the record
SPID	The Open Server process ID (if applicable)
User ID	The user ID of the client connection that generated the record (if applicable)
Application Name	The name of the client application through which the client connected (if applicable)
Specific Information	The message text, which may contain embedded tabs to further separate the information in this column

If an access service library logs a message during its start or stop functions, client information is unavailable. In such cases, the Object Name column contains the access service library name, and the SPID, User ID, and Application Name columns read “NULL.”

Note: Log messages that do not originate from the DirectConnect server or an access service library are generated by the access service library in the context of a client connection.
