Taking Notes Episode 21: 05.29.06 - OpenLog 5.29.2006
In Episode 21 Julian talks about his excellent OpenNTF OpenLog project. OpenLog provides a common error and event logging framework for all of your IBM Lotus Notes applications. Julian discusses how to set up OpenLog, how to configure it, how to add OpenLog to your existing databases, how to configure notifications and much more. No longer will you have to write to the Notes log file, the console or to an agent log database.

OpenLog provides you with a single database to collect all of the errors occurring in your code. We know (and hear) what you're saying so don't even say that your code is perfect and has no errors - yeah right! Only Bruce writes perfect code - NOT.


Download OpenLog Version 1.0
Download OpenLog Beta Version 1.1
