This package substitues the obsolete logService. A new requirement whereby database technologies other than ORACLE had to be dropped came in around spiring 2007. This new requirement meant the re-writing of the logService package, which was higly dependent on MySQL. This opportunity was taken to refactorize the code, especially the log manager, which was never very user friendly. The database access in C++ is done using the CORAL interface, which hides the underlying technology. For the log manager, JAVA was the language chosen, since it brings in the flexibility requiered to make this tool more intuitive. The resulting java application can be run from the console, or remotely using the Java Web Start technology.
In the Log Manager, when righ-clicking on the Messages Table (right hand side panel) or Partition Table (left hand side panel) a Refresh button pops up. This is used to update the current view of partitions and messages, respectively. Refreshing these objects only works if one right-clicks the mouse without moving it; that is, press and release without changing the X and Y pointer of the mouse. This may be a problem with Java. In the meantime, one can also perform a Refresh via the options in the top menu File: 'Refresh tree' and 'Refresh table'.
Add an option to display statistics, internal and from IS.
The layout of the Log Manager has slightly changed. There are two distinctive search criterias now. One related to the Log Message table (the same as in the previous release) and a new search associated to the Partition Tree (left panel). This new search allows users to find a node, be it a Partition or Partition and User, among the hundreds that form the left hand side Tree panel. The Log Manager expands this node and makes it visible, thus facilitaing the navigation through this tree. One can also enter a run number - the Partition and User are not needed but they can also be specified - which will expand the Parition.User node and display the corresponding Log Messages in the table.
Migrate to the deSEALed version of CORAL.

If possible, it is preferrable to launch this tool as a Java application rather than from the link above.
