iWay Designer 5.5 Logging
Hi

We are attempting to build a custom logging solution in iWay Designer.
I would like to know if it is possible to intercept the log entries generated by Designer and write them to a database. For instance, we would like to track how long the FTP process takes, so it would be good if we could write an entry to our database at the start and then again at the end of the process.
Does anyone know if this is possible within iWay?

Many thanks!

One approach to solve this problem could be writing a java extension ( called "exits" in iway)

In the i_programmers.pdf I found this section:

"Transaction Log Exits. Used in place of (or in addition to) the general transaction log
recorder, this exit records the event information to a specific destination or provides record
selection. An example of such an exit is writing the transaction information to a JDBC data
base."

Note that I haven't written any iway java extension yet.
