Handheld Operation Log


This article describes the handheld logs and how to access them, or send them to support for troubleshooting an issue.


Log Overview 

From time to time OPS-COM support personnel may request you send a log file to us so that we can better assist you. The log file sent allows us to view the data logs the handheld stores when any operations/functions are performed on the handheld itself and generally helps us determine what may be causing issues.


Log files are normally automatically uploaded to our server for later review once they have become more than 1 day old. However, this assumes the handheld is online and performs a successful synchronization at some point after any log files on the device are older than 1 day. For example, logs created on Monday should be uploaded to our server Tuesday around midnight, assuming the handheld is online and synchronizes Tuesday around or after midnight.
