The Log class provides these methods for opening a log:

• openFileLog opens a file for logging.
• openMailLog opens a mail memo for logging. The memo is mailed when the log is closed.
• openNotesLog opens a Domino database for logging. Each log entry is a document with the items A$PROGNAME, A$LOGTIME, A$USER, A$LOGTYPE, A$ACTION, A$ERRCODE, and A$ERRMSG. Use the system template alog.ntf to create databases suitable for logging.
• openAgentLog opens an agent log for logging. This method is valid only in an agent. Each agent has an associated log that is accessible through Agent - Log when the agent is selected.

These methods make entries in the log:

• logAction logs an action.
• logError logs an error.

The following methods access the Log properties:

• isLogActions returns true if action logging is enabled; setLogActions sets this property to true (default) or false to enable or disable action logging.
• isLogErrors returns true if error logging is enabled; setLogErrors sets this property to true (default) or false to enable or disable error logging.
• isOverwriteFile returns true if existing files are written over rather than appended to; setOverwriteFile sets this property to true or false (default) to enable or disable file overwriting.
• getNumActions returns an int value containing the number of actions logged so far.
• getNumErrors returns an int value containing the number of errors logged so far.
• getProgramName returns a String value containing the name of the script to which the entries apply; setProgramName sets this property.
• getParent returns a Session object representing the current session.
