Appendix Appendix: Log Files Log files can be a good source of information if you call for technical assistance. For each handheld application that is synchronized during an Intellisync operation, a "Log" file is created. Log files contain a detailed accounting of what occurred during the synchronization.

Appendix: Log Files
For each handheld application that is synchronized during an
Intellisync operation, a “Log” file is created. Log files contain a
detailed accounting of what occurred during the synchronization.
It is not normally necessary to read log files after a synchronization.
However, if errors were reported, they may be a useful source of
information.
To view a sync log file
To locate and view log files, look in the Available Logs window,
located on the View Logs tab of the Intellisync Support Tool. Log files
are assigned the following names, based on the handheld application
names:
ADDRBOOK.LOG
EXPENSE.LOG
DATEBOOK.LOG
NOTEPAD.LOG
TODOLIST.LOG
Log files identify the records that were transferred from one system to
the other, and indicate the exact action that was taken for each record.
Field Mapping is also specified in log files.
Reading a Log File
Before any actions are taken during a synchronization, records from
each system are read (looked at). You will see the term
READ
used in
the log files to indicate this process.
After reading records in each of the systems, Intellisync compares the
records in both systems, as indicated in a section labeled
Summary of
Data Analysis
. Here you will see phrases like “Unchanged on Both
Systems,” “Changed on First System,” “Deleted from Second System,”
and so forth.
The next section of the Log file lists the actions that were taken in your
“First System” (handheld) and “Second System” (PC application) to
achieve synchronization of the two systems.
Log files can be a
good source of
information if you call
for technical
assistance.
