Generating a Log Report using the Log File Convert Manager or by using the Buttonaction: Logging: Convert Specific Log File Format may be done from the Remote.

However, it is not possible to create or edit a Log Report Format from the Remote, so those buttons have been disabled.

 

When the Generate button is clicked, the Log File Conversion Destination box is displayed.

It allows the user to decide whether the resultant Log File Report should be stored on the Local or the Remote computer. If saving to the Remote then the folder may be specified.

It is also possible to save the Log File Report to a network drive.

 

 

In this example the name of the Remote connection is 'Factory' and the SpecView project on the Local computer is called 'Furnace'.

When the project is copied by SpecView to the Remote it is named <ProjectName>_<ConnectionName>, hence the name: 'Furnace_Factory'.

 

The filename is determined from the selected Log Report Format.

 

If the Output filename in the selected Log Report Format has the '6 Characters' box checked (where SpecView adds a number to the name automatically), then SpecView will create the next file in the sequence, depending on which files already exist in that particular folder, and that may be different on the Local and Remote.

 

If a Button is used to perform the action: Logging: Convert Specific Log File Format using a Log Report Format for which the Output Path has not been specifically defined, then the path for 'Save to Local' will not be displayed, although it will function as expected and save to the SpecView Project folder on the Local.
