Displaying and Customizing Logging Options

The StarTeam.Log file records the operations performed on your workstation during a work session. Reviewing logs can help you or your administrator troubleshoot errors or failed operations.

StarTeam.log contains data about operations sent from your workstation to one or more servers, depending on what project views you have open. This data includes the name of the project so that you can isolate data for a particular server, when necessary. Depending upon the selections made in Personal Options dialog box, your StarTeam.Log file can record the following types of information: error messages, operation summaries, and details about the individual commands required to perform each operation.

To view the contents of the StarTeam.Log file, do one of the following

• Choose Tools > StarTeam Log in the StarTeam client.
• Import and view the data from a StarTeam.Log file using any application that supports tab-delimited fields. For example, if you save the file with a .csv extension, you can open the file in Microsoft Excel.

To customize what information is captured in the log file, do the following:

1. Choose Tools > Personal Options to open the Personal Options dialog box.

2. Type or browse for the location of the StarTeam.Log file in the Log Output Path field.

   The default is the location in which the application is installed. For example, C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\StarTeam client_name\Log.

   The current log file is always named StarTeam.log. Log files from earlier sessions of the application include the date and time the file was last modified.

3. Select the types of data you want to include in StarTeam.Log.
4. Click OK.
