IBM Domino Designer Basic User Guide and Reference
Basic product usage information and programming language reference information.
Lotus® Connectors
Lotus® Connectors provide native access to a wide variety of DBMS products, ODBC, the platform File system, Enterprise Resource Planning systems, and Transaction Processing systems.
LSX for Lotus® Connectors
LotusScrip Extensions for Lotus® Connectors (LC LSX) enhances the power of Notes® by extending its scripting to data outside of Notes through the use of Lotus Connectors. The programming model is independent of the individual connector. This eliminates the need to learn each individual system, while at the same time allowing experienced users to access the individual features of a specific system.

LogTextEx Method for LCSession

This method adds a new external extended entry to the log for this activity.

This Log method logs an external extended error or event; use LogText for external basic logs and Log or LogEx for IBM® Lotus Enterprise Integrator® (LEI) errors. When logging an error, the activity status is set, placing the activity into an error state. A message is composed from the external text, code, and additional parameters, and is added to any Log entry for this activity.

Defined In

LCSession Class

Syntax

lcSession. LogTextEx (logFlags, text, externalCode, int1, int2, int3, text1, text2, text3)

Parameters


Parameter	Description
logFlags	Long. Flags which affect his long entry. LCLOGSTREAMF_EVENT Log a non-error event.
text	String. External log text. See Usage.
externalCode	Long. External log code.
int1	Long. Optional extended parameters. See Usage
int2	Long. Optional extended parameters. See Usage
int3	Long. Optional extended parameters. See Usage.
text1	String. Optional extended parameters. See Usage.
text2	String. Optional extended parameters. See Usage.
text3	String. Optional extended parameters. See Usage.

Usage

The text in text for extended logs contains parameter substitution markers which indicate placement and formatting of extended parameters. These substitution markers are of the format "[[Lcxx]]", where "xx" can be any of the following values:

In Integer value, from parameter Int<n>

Tn Type constant LCTYPE_XXX, from parameter Int<n>

Pn Property token, from parameter Int<n>

On Object constant LCOBJECT_XXX, from parameter Int<n>

Sn Stream text, from parameter text<n>

X Stop indicator if all extended parameters are zero/null/empty

X( Left bound to remove if next parameter is zero/null/empty

X) Right bound to remove if next parameter is zero/null/empty

The method of variable substitution allows for relatively complex multiple-parameter log text, as well as grammar variations between languages. The following examples are the actual LEI resources for three extended status values to demonstrate how this formatting is used:


Value	Description
LCFAIL_DUPLICATE	"Duplicate object[[LCX]] '[[LCS1]]'".
LCFAIL_INVALID_METADATA	"Metadata object [[LCX(]]'[[LCS1]]' [[LCX)]]does not exist".
LCFAIL_TYPE_MISMATCH	"Type mismatch[[LCX(]] for field '[[LCS1]]'[[LCX)]][[LCX(]]; LEI: [[LCT1]][[LCX)]][[LCX(]], Database: [[LCT2]][[LCX)]]"
