MICROS Retail OSCAR POS Message Logger

As an alternative to the information in file "errlog" or “errlog.login" it is also possible to store system entries in so-called *.OML files after the appropriate parameter setting with "MICROS Retail OSCAR POS_OMLPATH=..\logs,30" and "MICROS Retail OSCAR POS_CONSOLE=MESSLOG".

One OML file is created per system unit and per day in the following format: YYYYMMTT.OML. The number of log files stored in the system can be defined by the parameter " MICROS Retail OSCAR POS_OMLPATH=..\logs,30".

The OML file is stored in a specially formatted ASCII format. The file name is the creation date with the extension .OML.

The format layout is as follows:

Message name | Language id | header Suppression flag | message type | message group | printf format

• message name
  An obvious name to identify the message
• language id
  1 = German, 2 = English, 3 = French
• header suppression flag
  0 = no suppression of the header information, 2 = suppression of all header information,
• message type
  0 = debug, 2 = info, 3 = error, 4 = warning
• message group
  0 = none , 1 = POS, 2 = Back Office, 3 = System (not client)
• printf format
  Special version of print parameter

All defined debug information can be activated or deactivated in file ":..\bin\oscar.ini" with parameter "OMLDEBUG=Y".

Formatted information can be obtained with the log analysis program "MsgAn.exe" which can only be called up on the command level.
