Data Compare for Oracle 5

Logging and log files

Log files collect information about Data Compare for Oracle while you use it. These files are useful if you're working with Redgate support to fix a problem.

By default, logging is disabled and no log files are stored.

Enabling logging

To enable logging, select the log level you require:

  • Right-click the application title bar, click Minimum Log Levels, and click the log level you want.

Select a minimum log level based on how much information you need to be reported:

Verbose

Reports all messages in the log file.

Warning

Reports warning and error messages.

For example, a warning message might report a handled exception, or a problem which doesn't stop you using the application.

Error

Reports serious and fatal errors.

For example, an error message might report a failed operation.

No Logging

Disables logging.

The log level might affect performance. Verbose logging reports all messages, and so writes the most information to disk and produces the largest log files.

If you don't need logging, we recommend you select No Logging.

Locating the log files

To open the folder where the log files are stored, click Locate Log Files. By default, this is: %LocalAppData%\Red Gate\Logs\Schema Compare for Oracle

To view the current log file in your default text editor, click Open Current Log File.

If the minimum log level is set to No Logging, you can't locate or open log files from the application.
