Syntax
-logfileFormat
filename
Description
Specify the name template of the log file where FolderMonitor will write job-related information, such as start and end times, and error messages. This is related to FolderMonitor only and should not be used for Merge or any other application. This file name template is used in conjunction with the FolderMonitor instance name to arrive at the actual log file name to be used by that instance of FolderMonitor. This parameter is expected to be used in your DocOriginFolderMonitorSVC.prm
parameter file (Windows-only). As the Windows-only FolderMonitorConsole application is used to start various Folder Monitor instances, this logfile name template plus the FolderMonitor instance name is used to provide the launched instance with its proper -logfile
command line option.
In the Folder Monitor context the special placeholder, %i
, can be used to indicate where in the log file format the instance name is to be placed. See the File Naming Conventions section for additional restrictions and options. This includes the ability to inject various date-time-related placeholders in the log file name, as well as referencing file values.
If the specified log file already exists, DocOrigin programs append to the end of the file, otherwise, the file will be created.
