Description Eugene Chan CLA 2006-01-06 11:13:01 EST
In TPTP integration of WTP, there is a feature which allows user to import server log file(s) for problem determination analysis. In order to enhance the usability of such feature, we need API(s) from IServer to query for all log file(s) available of a server instance as well as its location/path to facilitate the import process.

It wouldn't hurt if the Server view itself made the logs openable using the external file support, too.

This bug has gone nowhere, and I believe the main reason is that it's going the wrong way around. There are no server adapters in WTP that provide log file information, and hence no point in creating a common public API for it. Likewise, there has been no request to add log info to any of the WTP server adapters, nor server adapters developed elsewhere requesting public API to make this support common at the WTP level.

Since this bug has been sitting dormant for over a year and there are no plans for WTP to do anything, I am closing it. If this is still an issue, please start with one or more specific server adapters to request this capability. Once it has been implemented and proven once, and if there is a likelihood that it'll be used by other server adapters, we can make a common public interface in WTP.
