syncerrors.txt log on syncservice

[jnorman]

v7.53. Running syncservice on server is all ok, EXCEPT for the logs. Is there any way to create separate log for each sync run, instead of one big file?

We have the syncserver.exe options set to individual files, but apparently those are ignored when the syncservice is driven from a sync job. What are we missing?

A separate log is created in:

%appdata%\All Users\Application Data\SalesLogix\Sync\EventLogs\[SyncServiceName]

Is that what you are looking for ?

I believe he's talking about the syncherrors file .. not the synch logs.

I read & split them w/TaskCentre. One could write a VBScript and have it run before synch and split them as well. 

Humm maybe I'll create such a script and post it on my blog ;-)

Sorry to be ambiguous. Yes, I was talking about the sync errors file. So RJ wins the cupie doll!  The script would useful, as TaskCentre is not a realistic option for this particular customer.

But Mike reminded me of something: the logs you point to never clean up. The option defined in the Sync Server exe to clear after 90 days doesn't apply through to the service. probably another periodic VB script, eh?

Thanks!

Jerry.. yep.. 'nother one .. but it could be run as a simple scheduled task via windows task scheduler ;-)

As soon as I have the "splitter" ready (along w/a kill off old ones option that are older than xx days).. I'll post a note here - OK?

Thank you. That's generous.
