Section of Desktop Showing:

Upload Status Window (normal and minimized states) and the System Tray

Each time the Upload Scheduler initiates an upload from LogBook, the application creates a minimized
Upload Status window (see previous figure). The Upload Status window provides schedule-related
information, such as upload start time, file destination, and time remaining. This window also states when
an upload fails; and when a “retry” will be attempted.

The Upload Scheduler saves a report of all its activities to the log file. You can view the log file by
clicking Upload Scheduler’s “Show Log” button, or by selecting “Show Log” menu item in the Schedule
pull-down menu.

Log File in WordPad Default

By default, the Upload Scheduler opens the log file in WordPad. You can choose to open the log file in
other applications using the Schedule pull-down menu, Set LogViewer menu item.

The log file will be located in the \log subdirectory of the LogView install directory. The Upload
Scheduler will generate another log file as soon as the size of the current log file reaches 1MB. The
Upload Scheduler will delete the oldest log file from the \log directory when the number of log files
exceeds 10.

The Upload Scheduler uploads all binary data to the subdirectory \data in the LogView installation
directory.
