Hi,I would like to update the Log.nsf with some specified text while saving a document using script. For this I wrote the code as follows.

On QuerySave Event

Dim currentLog As NotesLog

Set currentLog = New NotesLog(“SDB system Log”)

Call currentLog.OpenNotesLog( Server, “log.nsf” )

Call currentLog.LogAction( “Document edited by Kishore” )

Call currentLog.Close

Please correct me If I am doing wrong…

Thanks,

Kishore

Here is a very good link where you can update your log.nsf from UI like button click

It uses C API and is compatible for both Windows and UNIX.

I tested it on Windows.

The NotesLog class uses a database based on the agent log template (alog.ntf), not the server log database (log.nsf). If this is code that runs on the server (a scheduled agent, a WebQuery agent, etc.) then you can write to log.nsf using the Messagebox statement, but QuerySave happens in the client, not on the server. If you want to log errors and actions, create an agent log database from the alog.ntf template.
