Write to ProcessFlow Debug Log

If you have Integrator there is a Custom Activity node rhat has an api to write to the log but you have to develop a java bean to use it. Also with integrator you can append to any flat file on the system. Otherwise you will have to write a custom 4GL program to write to it and make an AGS call to it.

Thanks Gary. I was afraid it would be something like that.

I'm curious--why do you want to write to that log file rather than your own?

Regardless, if you have PF integrator, you might try using the Append function of the FileAccess node...

Otherwise you can use the SystemCommand node with rudimentary echo commands.

Not sure, but either method may result in a "file is locked" error, in which case you could/should write to your own log file.

Since you are using PFI, Could you give a try with FILE ACCESS Node with options below, it is working for us.

File Operation : Append to File
Output File : provide absolute path of the log file you want to use. Can use a custom file or can also use the workunit log file.
Input Data :   provide the error message you want to use in Input data.

I am sure this would work. Let me know if you need furthur help

Thanks John and Selva. I have considered writing to my own log, and that may be the best approach. Since I'm new to PFI, I'm just trying to figure out what other people are doing. Thanks.
