Organizer Log Window


The Organizer log window is a sub window to the main window. It works as a console for the SDL Suite and TTCN Suite tools. The window can be visible (raised or iconified) or not visible on the screen. All log information is output to this window independently of whether the window is visible or not.

The window is used in the following situations:

The window is opened or raised when the menu choice Organizer Log is selected from the Tools menu, or when something is written to the log. The preference ShowLogLevel controls which output to the window should cause a raise of the window (see chapter 3, The Preference Manager).

There is only one Organizer Log window. The Organizer main window is not locked for user input when the Organizer Log window is visible.

Quick Buttons

The following quick buttons are special to the Organizer Log window. The general quick buttons are described in "General Quick-Buttons" on page 24. Each quick button in the Organizer Log window has a preference parameter that specifies if the button is shown or hidden; see "Organizer Preferences" on page 246 in chapter 3, The Preference Manager. All quick buttons in the Organizer Log are shown by default.

Edit Menu

The following menu choices are available in the Organizer log window Edit menu:

Copy

This menu choice copies the selected text to the clipboard buffer.

Select All

This menu choice selects all text in the Organizer Log window.

Clear Log

This menu choice clears all text in the Organizer Log window.

Log Options

This menu choice lets you decide how error, warning and information messages from the Analyzer should be handled in the Organizer Log:

The default value for the Filter text field is taken from the preference Organizer*LogFilter. The default value for the navigation level is taken from the preference Organzier*LogNavigationLevel.

The Ignore WARNINGs button can be used when you repeatedly analyze the same system and only are concerned with warnings issued by new changes in the system. In the Log file any line starting with "#SDTREF" together with the next line will be used to match a warning issued by the Analyzer. The initial number on the second line is always replaced by a wildcard character `*', which means that any number of characters will match. Additional wildcards can be added manually to tailor the exact behavior of what warnings to be ignored. To make the Log file independent of a specific source directory path, the initial path can be exchanged by a wildcard character.

Tools Menu

The following menu choices are available in the Tools menu of the Organizer log window:

Show Organizer

This menu choice raises the Organizer's Main window.

Show Error

This menu choice opens an editor and shows an object/text that corresponds to a selected error/warning. If no text in the log is selected, the menu choice operates on the first error/warning in the log, which becomes selected. If this menu choice is invoked several times without changing the selection manually, the selection is updated automatically to point to the next error/warning before opening the editor and selecting the corresponding object/text.

Help on Error

This menu choice activates the Help tool on the selected error/warning or the next found error/warning. The selection is not updated automatically when selecting this command repeated times (as opposed to Show Error, above).

Search

This menu choice opens a dialog that allows you to search for a text in the Organizer log; see "Search" on page 143.

Repeated Search

Repeated search can be invoked without opening the Search dialog by pressing Ctrl+F on the keyboard. This will use the settings of the Search dialog for a new search.
