Log files
MultiTerm log files
SDL MultiTerm records many of its actions in log files. It may be useful to consult these files when a process does not yield the results you expected. For example, if an import does not process correctly, you can examine the import log file. The following table describes some of these log files.
| Log File | Details |
|---|---|
Import log ( *.log) | When you import a file, MultiTerm creates an import log file that records the details of the import. |
Import output file ( *.out) | When you process an import with a filter applied, MultiTerm creates an output file with the entries that do not meet the filter criteria. |
Import exclusion file ( *.xcl) | When you process an import which contains invalid entries, MultiTerm creates an exclusion file with information about the invalid entries. |
Export log ( *.log) | When you export a termbase, MultiTerm creates an export log file that records the details of the export. |
SQL transaction log
SQL Server records all changes made to all databases in a file called a transaction log. The transaction log is used by SQL Server during automatic recovery.
The transaction log can become very large. If it runs out of space, SQL Server cannot record further transactions and will not allow changes to the database. You can expand the transaction log using SQL Server Management Studio.
You can use the transaction log for backups, but SDL recommends that you back up the entire database regularly to minimize the risk of data loss.
