Log and trace records consist of a variable number of columns of data, separated by tab characters.
The following lists the columns of data in a typical log or trace record:
Record Type | DateTime | Object Name | SPID | UserID | Application Name | Specific Information
Table 7-1 describes the function of each of the 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 a access service library logs a message during its start or stop functions, client information is not available. In such cases, the Object Name column contains the access service library name, and the SPID, User ID, and Application Name columns read “NULL.”
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.
