MDG Load Error Logs Needed
« on: August 30, 2018, 12:32:33 pm »
The "silent" failure of MDG loads is REALLY starting to bug us.

We need an Error log of errors encountered during the loading of the MDG so we can debug the MDG.

+1 and not only for MDG's.

More (and detailed) logs could be useful for
- xmi import
- model transfer
- add-in loading
- any type of code generation
- ...

These guys just don't know what error logs are. I asked for that ages ago and never ever I saw the slightest improvements. This hidden "dberror.txt"  speaks for itself. They have a so called System Log window but it shows only messages created by (user) script. Bah!

It's not like Windows doesn't have a extensive logging subsystem built in.

Do they use it in any way?

Honestly I never looked into the Windoze logs. Probably since I never could get any useable info from there unlike from *NIX logs. It's not that I think they are pretty or smart, they aren't, but they are used in a way by most sub-systems in a somewhat common way so you CAN get useful info.

As a daily user of both Windows and *nix and someone who spent a significant proportion of his career dealing with monitoring and management systems I'd have to say that the Windows log sub-system is by fair the better.  Looking on my work machine I can only find errors in my application log for the couple of times EZ.exe crashed.  So basically no, they don't seem to make use of it.
