Using version of 19 November 2008, when i open a layout in designer (i explicitly set EngineV2) a file named "Report.log" is created in executables folder. It contains the log of the operations made in designer. What is this?

Thank you.

Is this file necessary? What happens if two or more users creates reports at the same time? I have cases of about 50 users working on the same server in Terminal Server and so the programs directory is the same for each user and the file is the same for everyone.

Thank you.

I should add that the user may not have write permissions in programs folder.

Thanks.

Hi Fabio.

It is not a problem if more then one user writes to the log file, because this file has been created with multithread access ability.

You can cancel creation of this file as follows:

StiOptions.Engine.LogEnabled = false

Thank you.

I think that the default should be "no log". Seems very strange to me.

Thanks.
