A string NameID is pre-pended to error messages written to the message log. Name is a non configurable identifier that is no longer than 9 characters. ID is a configurable identifier that is no longer than 9 characters and is specified using the /id parameter on the startup command-line.
Message Logs
The location of the message log depends upon the platform on which the interface is running. See the UniInt Interface User Manual for more information.
Messages are written to [PIHOME]\dat\pipc.log at the following times.
When the interface starts many informational messages are written to the log. These include the version of the interface, the version of UniInt, the command line parameters used, and the number of points.
As the interface loads points, messages are sent to the log if there are any problems with the configuration of the points.
If the UniInt /dbUniInt parameter is found in the command-line, then various informational messages are written to the log file.
