LogFile connection parameter [LOG]

Sends client error messages and debugging messages to a file.

Usage

Anywhere

Values

String

Default

No log file.

Remarks

If you want to save client error messages and debugging messages in a file, use the LogFile (LOG) connection parameter.

If the file name does not include a path, it is relative to the current working directory of the client application.

The LogFile (LOG) connection parameter is connection-specific, so from a single application you can set different LogFile arguments for different connections.

Typical log file contents are as follows:
