Hi Guys,

Can you please tell me how to generate log files in qlikview.

I have a script that loads heavy data and thus is scheduled at night(non-peak hours).

How does one generate daily logs for these loads.

Rochelle.

hi..

Go to settings --document properties --- general tab

On the right side there are many check boxes , select the second option. you will be able to generate a log file.

But if you want to generate log with the timestamp select 2nd and 3rd checkbox.

By default, those log files contain just script statements and possibly their execution results (for LOAD and SQL SELECT).

You can use the TRACE statement to add your own information to a log, like for instance the content of crucial variables or the reason why you end up in the THEN or ELSE part of an IF statement. Very useful for unattended execution.

Best,

Peter
