-
The MDS12 upgrade utility will generate its own LOG file detailing the actions performed during the MDS12 upgrade.
-
The LOG file will be created and located in the MDS12-DEFAULTS directory found in the project information directory defined in the evar %<project code>INFO%, and found in the normal project directory structure, for example, for a project code of TWD the information directory would be located in …/<pdms project directory>/twd/twdinfo/MDS12-DEFAULTS. If the MDS12-DEFAULTS directory does not exist, it will automatically be created along with the LOG file
-
If the project information directory defined in the project evar %<project code>INFO%, does not exist the LOG file will automatically be created in the directory %PDMSUSER%/MDS12-DEFAULTS. If the MDS12-DEFAULTS directory does not exist, it will automatically be created along with the LOG file
-
The LOG file for a project code of TWD will typically be named as shown here:
%TWDINFO%/MDS12-DEFAULTS\MDS-DEFAULTS-CONVERSION-to-CATA-DB-31Jan2006-154739.pmllog
or:
%PDMSUSER%/MDS12-DEFAULTS\MDS-DEFAULTS-CONVERSION-to-CATA-DB-31Jan2006-154739.pmllog
Important Note: The date and time the MDS12 upgrade commenced will always be appended to the name of the LOG file.
-
For Reference ONLY - A copy of a typical example of a MDS12 Upgrade LOG file can be found in the MDS12 release directory that means:
