Enable/Disable Logfile without opening qvw

This is a long shot, but is there a way to enable/disable logfile generation without opening the dashboard? This is for a Huge application (~20GB) which doesn't upon on local desktop machine.

I do have an alternate of opening this with no data and then enabling/disabling the logfile, but I wonder if there is another way to do this without opening the qvw.

Thanks,

Sunny

If you open up a qvw file with a text editor, you'll see that there is some XML embedded near the end of the file (search for <DocumentInfo>). You can read this XML (with QV script or another XML parser) to get information about the document, including object expressions and dimensions.  This for example, is what the Governance Dashboard reads as input. The data in this xml section is a reflection  of the actual properties which are stored in some binary internal structure. Meaning if you change the XML, you are not actually changing document properties.

The button in DocumentAnalyzer that creates a -prj does not do it differently or any faster than if you did it manually.  It uses the same process -- create the directory, then open and save the document.
