RMS PACTOR Logs

Michael K. 14 ár síðan updated by Winlink Moderator 14 ár síðan 7
I am trying to get a handle on the logging and preserving of logs in the current version of RMS Pactor - 2.1.0.0

There are a few things that are causing some confusion here. The Help file indicates an option to 'ARCHIVE OLD LOGS' and it works in conjunction with the 'Delete Files After' option. Help states this option can be set in the Site Properties window. The option isn't there. It seems the only place it can be set is in the .ini file. Setting the line to TRUE has not resulted in current files being archived.

The option for Deleting files after xx days is there, but what I set in that box is not retained in the event of a restart, auto-update, or even a peek at that window. Each time such an event occurs, the setting defaults to 7 days, and one must reset the # of days manually once more.

Also, in the help file, there are references to .log files / records. I don't see any such files in the Pactor folders. There are text files corresponding to log file names.

I have need of keeping files intact in the LOG folder for at least a month or more at a time. Presently it seems the only option is to manually transfer files to a secondary folder.

Can you provide some suggestions as to what I can do please? 73 Michael VA3LKI

This sounds like a defect in the RMS Pactor code. I'll take a look at it very shortly.

Thanks for effort and changes with version 2.1.2.0, however, the daily files in the Log Folder are still being deleted on restart / reboot / updates, and at the 7 day timeout.

We used to have an option to control archiving, but I can't locate that now, other than in the .ini file, and changes there do not seem to be effective.

Still looking for a way to control retaining the files beyond the 7 day period. All suggestions welcome.

Version 2.1.2.1 appears to have resolved the deletion of the Logs!

Many thanks for your quick and accurate support.

Re: Question about RMS Pactor Logging

I have been thinking that in both RMS WINMOR and RMS PACTOR, an option for not
only Dayly Roster, but Weekly, Monthly and Yearly Roster would be nice. If
enabled.

It would simplify getting an overview of WHO doing the Trafic.
