Daticaldb.log

The daticaldb.log file gets written to the current working directory when you run the Datical CLI or the Datical GUI. You typically find them in the following locations:

• Datical DB CLI - <UserDirectory>/datical/<project>/ - directory for each project
• Datical DB GUI - <datical-install> - Datical DB install directory

The log is a valuable trouble shooting resource when errors or bugs are encountered. When using the Datical DB GUI, this log file replaces the .metadata/.log file available in previous releases

Changelog Sync Log

datical/<project>/Logs/<YYYY>/<NN-MMM>/<dbDef>/changelogSync/sync.log


The changelogSync logs are located under specific projects in the datical workspace folder. They can be found under datical/<project>/Logs/<YYYY>/<NN-MMM>/<dbDef> folder. There are subfolders here for each changelog sync that is run.  Under the sync folder is a file called sync.log. The sync.log file contains useful information related to running the ChangeLog Sync command, the various queries run and connections related to it.

Checksum Clear Log

datical/<project>/Reports/<YYYY>/<NN-MMM>/<dbDef>/clearCheckSums_<dbdef>_yyyyMMdd_hhmmss/clearCheckSums.log


There is a timestamped subfolder for each checksum that is run. The log is in file clearCheckSums.log.

datical/<project>/Reports/<YYYY>/<NN-MMM>/<dbDef>/forecast_<dbdef>_<datetime>

The forecast and deploy reports are located under specific projects in the datical workspace in datical/<project>/Reports/<YYYY>/<NN-MMM>/<dbDef> folders.

Under the deploy folder is also a DaticalLiquibase.log file which contains useful troubleshooting information.

Packager Log

datical/<project>/Reports/<YYYY>/<NN-MMM>/<dbDef>/packager_<dbdef>_<datetime>

Rollback Report

The Rollback Report generates a report that describes which changesets are impacted when the rollback command is used.  The report can be produced in any of the following modes: LastDeploy, Precise, and Custom. The report will be written to the directory specified or to the Reports directory by default if none is specified.

datical/<project>/Reports/<YYYY>/<NN-MMM>/<dbDef>/rollback_<dbdef>_<datetime>

Diff/DiffChangeLog Log
