The NotesLog class provides these methods for opening a log:

• OpenFileLog opens a file for logging.
• OpenMailLog opens a mail memo for logging. The memo is mailed when the log is closed.
• OpenNotesLog opens a database for logging. Each log entry is a Domino document with the items A$PROGNAME, A$LOGTIME, A$USER, A$LOGTYPE, A$ACTION, A$ERRCODE, and A$ERRMSG. Use the system template ALOG.NTF to create databases suitable for logging.
• OpenAgentLog opens an agent log for logging. This method is valid only in an agent. Each agent has an associated log that is accessible through Agent - Log when the agent is selected.

These methods make entries in the log:

• LogAction logs an action.
• LogError logs an error.

The following table lists the NotesLog properties:
