SUMMARY
This article demonstrates how it is possible to log run-time Remote Data Services for ADO (RDS) errors to a file located on the server to assist in debugging problems.
MORE INFORMATION
Often overlooked, the default MSDFMAP Handler give developers and administrators the ability to log run-time errors to a file. To turn on error logging, simply edit the MSDFMAP.INI file in the Operating System root directory (C:\WINNT\MSDFMAP.INI, for example) in the following manner:
;lines that begin with a ';' are comment lines
;add the lines below to turn on error logging
[Logs]
err='c:\temp\HandlerLog.err'
Errors are appended to the file specified. If the file does not exist, a new one is created.
