H5 script logging to file

Is there a means to make an H5 script log to a file? The console and the IScriptArgs.IScriptLog object (which as far as I can tell only logs to the console) are fine for development.

Unfortunately the console is local and short lived and we have a need for persistent verbose logging in production to record a scripts actions and the context it operated in when performing that action.

Perhaps the IScriptLog logs to the CFT but I haven't seen any reference to that.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ben,

We are single tenant cloud and had the same issue - we asked the question but were told it wasn't possible.

We ended up logging to the custom table using the CUSEXTMI API. Not ideal but worked for us.

Cheers,

Hi,

I think it's possible, but it's tricky :

A script is launched locally on your computer, that's why you can't write in a folder. But with the new api (foundation-rest/file-management/v1 with Upload verb), you can write a file into MVXFileTransfer folder. But by doing this, you will write a new file each time (with a timestamp for example). Also, what Iain said is correct, you can use a custom table to store it (and if you want to write in a file, use EA+MEC to generate a file that you send with ION/EC).

Create a Global Variable.

Create a Global Function to add lines on it.

Create a option (eg ALT+L) wich saves the data to a local file.

Is allway better create a lib for that to avoid duplicated code and define Variables and Functions.
