There are a few command-line switches that can be used with LogMerge to aid in trouble-shooting and/or solving source log problems. The switches and their usage is described in the following table:
Switch |
Description |
---|---|
/debug |
Invokes LogMerge debug mode, which will create additional data files for evaluation. These files are named OUTLOG01.TXT and OUTLOG02.TXT and are placed in the LogMerge application directory. |
/LAN |
Forces LogMerge to store it's ini file in the application directory rather than the PC's Windows directory. This provides for a LAN installation of LogMerge, with different PC's able to launch the application and use the same ini file. |
/TLS |
"Traffic Log - Special". Invokes special handling of the source traffic log to attempt to overcome problems with source log files. The source log file problem most prevalent is the traffic vendor's failure to write a full 69-byte record for the "I" record (the first record in the log file). Other problems may include the source traffic log having extraneous empty lines (records) at the end of the source log file. |
/MLS |
"Music Log - Special". Invokes special handling of the source music log file in an attempt to overcome problems in loading the source music log. Most often the problem with a source music log file is that the end of the log has extraneous empty lines (records). |
/MORE |
Causes LogMerge to place more information in the merge error log for the merge process. Might also be described as "verbose mode". |
