DSC Database Log File

Solved!
Go to solution

Hey guys. Im trying to log my Variable Library using DSC database feature.
After i run the program, the path is not created and when I try to create the path manually it left blank.
My problem now are:

1. Is there anything wrong with my configuration?

2. I can read the trace using Read Traces.vi, means its being logged elsewhere, where is it exactly located?

Thanks in advance.

I'd avoid trying to log to C:\Program Files (x86). Windows is probably performing some File Virtualization to allow you to log to Program Files, and all file read/writes are being redirected to another location, typically %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore. Use another path like C:\Citadel which the Windows user account has write access to.

 

That said, I just tried logging a Citadel database to C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2017\TEST, and the log files appear at that location.

 

If you view the Citadel database path property from within MAX, what does it say? You can see this by selecting Historical Data->Citadel 5 Universe on the left, then find your database on the right, right-click it and select Properties then check the Path.
