Application Log File

Identifies the log file name associated with the Operation. This is the file name used by the Operation for logging (that is, writing output). When you enter the Operation you might specify the name of the log file in the Operation.

Example:  isql /SMyServ /Pmypass /itest.sql /olog.file

This Operation starts isql with an output file of "log.file". Since SmartBatch does not have a way to know how each program specifies a log file, you must explicitly set the log file in this field. Not all Operations will use log files. This is one way to determine errors. When the Operation completes, the Executive Server can search through the log file for the keyword expression value that you configure (under the On Exit Action tab).

You can use a Parameter Name in this field. The Parameter Name will be replaced with its value when the Executive Server processes the Operation.
