DB Log tasks, date/time stamping
« on: April 18, 2012, 08:17:07 am »
This is a really easy ask.  When the DB Transfer process writes to the "log file", could you add a date/time stamp for each activity line being written to the log?  This helps us understand timing better and how long activities have taken.

Thanks,
Bill

This is EAUI.

Logs, by definition, should be timestamped..

"Captain's log, Stardate 3456.7"...

A log without timestamps is NOT a log.  It's almost a waste of time.  I rarely, if ever, refer to an EA log to help solve a problem.

I STRONGLY SUPPORT the suggestion - but you'll need to use the Links at the bottom of the page to officially get the request entered into the Sparx Log (which by the rarity of suggestions getting implmented also appears to not be timestamped)  ;)
