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.
