When the user has turned on logging, the text transaction logs are stored in files with fixed-length records in the directory where the map is executed. Unless the user specifies otherwise, information in these files is appended upon execution of the map. (However, the user can cause the files to be overwritten by using a run time switch.)
Based on the Log Type selected, the text transaction log files can be written out in either an expanded format (Explanded Text Log) or a non-expanded format (Text Log). You should always choose the expanded format; the non-expanded format is included only to support earlier versions of the software and cannot be used to generate a 997 functional acknowledgement.
The text transaction log files are written to translog.out for outbound and any-to-any maps and translog.in for inbound and Web maps. You can edit these log files with a text editor to provide report-style information about the transaction run.
