Hi all,

What is the best way to output data to the install log?

Hi caalip,

Can you come more clear on your requirement.

If you actually meant "Can install logs be customized?" then it cannot be.

It is for the installer default actions to dump the status and related information into.


Hope this Helps!

Thanks,

Modifying the log file is not supported, but you can try the code in the below KB article. You will need to compile it and add it to a jar. Then you can set these three variables and call the class.

$ERROR_STDOUT$ - set the standard out message here
$ERROR_STDERR$ - set the standard error message here
$ERROR_MSGSTR$ - set the custom message string here
