New script function: FLUSHLOG - What does it do?

pgrenier — Fri, 13 Apr 2018 21:24:56 GMT

Hello!

I noticed a new script function was available: FLUSHLOG, but it doesn't seem to be referenced in the online help.

Anyone knows what it does?

Regards,

Philippe

FlushLog

The FlushLog statement forces Qlik Sense to write the content of the script buffer to the script log file.

Syntax:

FlushLog

The content of the buffer is written to the log file. This command can be useful for debugging purposes, as you will receive data that otherwise may have been lost in a failed script execution.

Example:

FlushLog;

It's not really new. QlikView 11.20 had it too. The CHM Help however doesn't talk about it so it must be some secret statement.
