Has anyone successfully used the BSE_LOG variable to redirect the log.bshell output to another file?

We are using Baan5c on7.1d.04 porting set and output goes to the usual log.bshell file instead of what I have in the set command of my client.

Using the following set command:

-- -set BSE_LOG=/home/bsp/fred77

putting the file name in quotes does not make a difference. Any and all ideas welcome.

Thanks
Eric

The BSE_LOG environment variable is the name of a *directory*, which then replaces the usual $BSE/log directory.

The bshell messages are directed to log.<bshell> where bshell is the bsehll name in BW configuration . So for example if u have bshell name in BWC as bshell1 and in ur ipc_info bshell1 is defined properly to invoke bshell6.1 , then log messages are generated to log.bshell1 and not log.bshell for that particular user.

Though I have not tested changing BSE_LOG , changing this value will point to the directory where log messages are to be generated.

I guess the bshell naming will work for our needs. I still could not get the BSE_LOG environment variable to work on a directory. We are on the latest porting set and service pack for Baan5c so not sure what the problem is.

A log.informix file does get created in the BSE_LOG directory if I try to redirect from the norm, but no bshell errors get logged in that directory. They still go to the regular $BSE/log.

Eric,

It didnt work from the worktop options for me. But we have job shell scripts which set environment variables where it is working.


# Set Standard Baan Environment
if [[ -a /app/lms/${ENV}/opt/bin/lms_env_cfg.sh ]]; then
. /app/lms/${ENV}/opt/bin/lms_env_cfg.sh
else
echo "Error, can't find lms_env_cfg.sh"
exit 2
fi

BSE_LOG=/app/lms/${ENV}/var/logs/jobs/$COMPANY
export BSE BSE_LOG
