Hi Nav Guys,

Is there any way to write a error log in Event Viewer from Navision??
(using Automation/OCX Control)

Our company customized Job Scheduling functionality in which i do generate error log in one table but Client wants same kind of log in Event Viewer also.
Best Regards,

    If job scheduling is handled by NAS (navision application server) then error messages will occur in event viewer automatically.

    if you use NAS for sheduling, he writes autom. all errors in Event log.
    If you use a client and you will write data in Event Log u can do this with WSH-Shell. Search the Forum for WSH Shell

    Regards
    Do you make it right, it works too!

    Because the first parameter is variant, you need to define Variant variable and use it as the first parameter. For details there is the original help for this function:

    i have solved this problem. :D


    CREATE(WindowShell);
    WindowShell.CurrentDirectory(ENVIRON('windir') + '\system32\');
    txtCommand := '1';
    IF WindowShell.LogEvent(txtCommand,'hi') THEN
    MESSAGE('sucessful')
    ELSE
    MESSAGE('false');


    in above code i was using txtCommand := 'Error' instead of txtCommand := '1' .

    thank you everybody for your kind support.

    thanx to all.
    problem is solved.

    Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer.
    Event Viewer Window contains fields Type,Date,Time, Source, Category, Event ID, User, Computer.

    But im still seeking to fill fields like Category & Source from Navision.
    currently by default
    Type:Error
    Source: WSH (Windows Shell)
    Category : None
    Event ID: 1

    Can i have Source:"MS Navision" & Category:"PDF Print"???

    I am using this in a codeunit's TryFunction in Dynamics NAV 2017 to collect some client-side information into a remote server's Event Log and it works:
    Name	DataType	Subtype	Length
lEventLogObject	DotNet	System.Diagnostics.EventLog.'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
pDebugMessage: Text

CLEAR(lEventLogObject);
lEventLogObject := lEventLogObject.EventLog('Application','remoteserver.companydomain.local','NAVDebugLog');
lEventLogObject.WriteEntry(pDebugMessage);
