[--log/-l]

The --logfile parameter sets the file name and path for the error log file that CIB merge writes for each merge process.

Syntax

--logfile=<Fehlerprotokolldatei>

Description

With --logfile=!<Error log file> an already existing error log file is overwritten, with --logfile=+<Error log file> the current entries are simply appended to the file. If no error occurs, an empty error file is written.

Example

--logfile=!Komma_log.log

A possibly already existing file Comma_log.log in the current directory is overwritten.

The usage of the parameter is illustrated in the use case example Gap Text.

Note

It is recommended to write the parameter --logfile in the first line of the parameter file. This will already log errors in the parameter file.

From CIB merge version 3.9.x on, --logfile can be scaled additionally with --verbose. For details of --logfile and --verbose see chapter Error log file. Please also refer to the book "CIB merge Error Handling" for further information about trace options and program return values.
