Application Log and Error List

Application Log Overview

Access

C:\MTS TestSuite\GlobalLog\App.log

The information in the Application Log is automatically stored in a log (.log) file. Each new entry in the log
is automatically written to the file when the entry occurs. The default file location is C:\MTS
TestSuite\GlobalLog

. The default file name is App.log.

When you start a session, the application looks in the default location for the default log file. If the file is
there, the application opens the file and loads the contents into the Application Log. If the default file is not
there (it is renamed or moved or cleared), the application creates and opens a new (empty) default log
file.

The default log file is perpetual. As long as it is not renamed, moved, or cleared, it continues to accumulate
the Application Log information.
