Error logs are located in Guru or the local file system (D:\RiApps\GuruApps\<AppID>\*.log) based on the App that fails or the type of log. Most non-fatal application errors are logged to a "RiErrorLog" Guru object and platform errors saved to the local file system.



See Export RiErrorLog via Guru Browser https://roos.com/docs/RBEH-BULKHT

ALWAYS CHOOSE SAVE when presented with an Error prompt



IMPORTANT: Along with the .gzp RiErrorLog attachment, include the name and version of Short Cut, steps used to recreate the Error, and brief description of what the expected behavior with any new request to [email protected]

When reporting saved errors, open Guru Browser from the Apps button, select "RiErrorLog" as the ObjectClass and export the objects created in the last month or so (or last 20).

Choosing Debug will open a Smalltalk window to allow in-line code debugging and editing. Abort will silently stop the process and return

All Guru Apps are stored in their own folder locally in the "D:\RiApps\GuruApps\" directory when launched and will remain available even if a Guru server is not connected. The folder name is the Application ID, a Guru ID unique for that application. New versions are only downloaded "on demand" when the app is launched from Guru. All log files in program directories are preserved. Logs stored in Guru will remain in the local Guru until a connection is made to it's configured "backup" guru, then it is available there as well.

Guru can run on ArcaOS, eComStation (OS/2), Windows, and Linux. Many applications support all three platforms depending on their application dependancies. Each application has a unique Application ID for each platform. So the folder the application is stored on may have the 6th digit different based on what platform. For example, Device Connection editor is GFJ2AS2A (Win), GFJ2AR2A (OS2), GFJ2AT2A (Linux).
(Guru object details for Guru Apps: RiObjectClass = RiApplication. ri.sys.OpSys = ALL, Linux, OS2, Win)

Guru Apps are developed with different programming languages with their own platform limitations: Digitalk Smalltalk (OS2) [ri.sys.Type=stv], VAST Smalltalk (OS2,Win,Linux) [ri.sys.Type=vast60],or Java (ALL). JVM is either OS or built-in (on D:\ drive). Java 1.4 minimum for most Java apps [ri.Sys.Type=java16], Java 1.6 is required for some Java apps [ri.Sys.Type=java16], Java 1.7 [ri.sys.Type = java17)
Both Smalltalk flavors leave a "vtError.log" for application failures.

Logs in Guru:
RiAdminLog - Cassini running an Exec (from User App or from System > Exec menu) creates objects that can be parsed for tracking OEE system utilization. Includes Start / Stop times, handler index times, etc. "ExecEvents" are XML that can be processed to form utilization reports.

RiEventLog is also created by Cassini and is a relatively new log type that documents "events" like opening applications, performing startups, etc. This is part of the emerging RITdb standard.

RIApplicationLog is made by various RiApplications (like Guru Agent)

RiErrorLog - created during an Error or when System > Svc Req collects vtError.log and Tester Config log.

RiSimulationDef - created with System > Equip > Save Sim (manifest = all open guru objects, incl tester def and any transient instruments like Fixture/Dib/DutControl)

Config log - created from Configuration window (System > Tester) then Tester > Create Config Log... (user selects name and location) defaults "<tester name> Description.txt"

RiEquipDiagLog - created from Tester Cal/Diag Exec (System > Tester > Tester > Diagnose), choosing Results > Save to Guru. Includes brief instrument list and current contents of the Results window.
