| Summary: |
| The debug.log file contains developer
related information to aid in debugging the application that is
using the CiDebugHelp. It can also be used for projects that link
to its features (Citect32.exe, ctapi client applications etc).
There are a couple of things to note however:
• Prior to the v6.00 release of CitectSCADA, the size of the
debug.log file was hard coded to 1Mb and 1 backup history file. It
is now configurable to allow for a size up to 10Mb and 10 History
files. The default is 1Mb and 1 file respectively. • The base key for CiDebugHelp changed with the release of
version 6.00. • The location of the debug.log is dependent on the location of the binary that loads the CiDebugHelp |
| Solution: |
| Configuration Settings
Below are the registry settings that are available to configure the debug.log. If the key does not exist then the default value is used by Citect. Base Key for CiDebugHelp before version 6.00:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ci
Technologies\CiDebugHelp\Citect32 • File Size • Number of History Files File Size Used to record the required size of the debug.log file. Once the log file reaches this size it will be copied to a history file if configured. Value: DebugLogSize The key value is based on the Base key shown above. Number of History Files This is the number of history files to maintain. Once the debug log file has become full, it is backed up to a history file. The history file has an extension indicating its currency. The debug.log file becomes debug.1. The debug.1 file becomes debug.2. This will continue until the number of configured history files has been reached. Once the last is reached it will deleted. Value: DebugLogHistoryFiles The key value is based on the Base key shown above. |
