How to customize the trace log file for errors and success messages

Trace files are extensively utilized in Sage X3 software, particularly during lengthy processes like Automatic Invoice Validation or Automatic Work Order Release. When a trace file is displayed, error lines appear in red text, allowing you to navigate through the errors.

To customize a trace file, follow the below steps:

Step 1: We need to open the trace file using the ‘OUVRE_TRACE’ function, as shown in the code below.

Step 2: After opening the log file, we can insert any messages as per our requirements.

Note: To customize a trace file, it’s essential to understand the color codes associated with different messages:

0: Used to display messages in black color.
1: Used to indicate error messages in red color.
-1: Used to present messages in green color.
-2: Used to showcase messages in blue color.

Step 3: Insert a message line using the ‘ECR_TRACE’ function. This function takes two parameters: the first parameter contains the message, and the second contains the color code, as shown in the code below.

Step 4: After inserting messages, we need to close this trace file using the ‘FERME_TRACE’ function.

Step 5: Now we can display our trace log file using the ‘LEC_TRACE’ function.

Step 6: If you want to delete this trace file, you can use the ‘SUPP_TRACE’ function.

After executing this script, you can view the log file as depicted in the screenshot below.

Note: If you added an error message using the code ‘1’ in the ‘ECR_TRACE’ function, you will receive a popup indicating the number of errors before the log file.

By following the above steps, we can customize the trace log file for errors and success messages.
