This article provides information regarding how to disable a specific release log or report file from being generated during the build. During the build of a release, two additional directories are inserted into the Release Folder. These two directories, LogFiles and Reports, contain specific information pertaining to that build. To prevent the directories (including their contents) from being created, you need to set the flag in the attributes column of the IsRelease table.
Discussion
This procedure needs to be performed on a per release basis.
- Open the Direct Editor view.
- Select the IsRelease table and identify the release to be modified.
- Identify the Attributes ?(i4) column for the specific release you wish to modify. The Attribute column contains a bitwise array of flags. The following bits control reports and logs:
FLAG_CREATEREPORT 0x4 =75785
FLAG_CREATELOGFILE 0x8=75781 - Set the Attribute column to the appropriate value:
- 75785 disables the Report from being created
- 75781 disables the LogFiles from being created
- 75777 disables both LogFiles and Reports from being created.
NOTE: Use extreme caution when modifying any bitwise array within the Direct Editor of Developer as undocumented behavior may result.
- 75785 disables the Report from being created
Additional Information
The following build errors may result during the initial build of the modified release. Building the release a second time eliminates these errors:
Error -5046: Could not preserve previous Build Reports
Error -5045: Could not preserve previous Build Logs.
For more information on bitwise array manipulation, see the Microsoft MSDN article Bitwise Operators.
