Client/DDE logging has gone AWOL; like to find it again

  • At the behest of Lotus, for debugging DDE, I put these lines into my notes.ini:

Client_Clock=1

Debug_Console=1

Debug_Outfile=\IBM_TECHICAL_SUPPORT\ConsoleLog.txt

I had only Console_log_enabled=1 in there before, and it’s still in there.

  • Before I added the lines, I got a console log in the normal place, the directory above. After adding the lines, I see two “DOS” window consoles when I open Notes, but no more logs are ever generated. Period.

  • Ideally I’d have whatever the normal log would be, plus whatever these two new console windows show. For instance, the Notes2.exe window constantly shows Java stack traces, but since it’s not actually logged anywhere, all those piles of errors are lost forever. I’m not seeing the utility of having them if they prevent other logging from happening.

Should I just take these lines back out, or try something else? Thanks for your time…
