Database Output Files

The TapeTrack Database maintains files from standard out and standard error streams.

These files are used to check the Framework Server is running correctly as well as diagnose unexpected stoppages and startup problems.

If you have experienced any issues with the Framework Server execution you will be asked to forward these files so the problem can be diagnosed.

If these files are to large to email, you may need to zip (WinZip, 7-Zip, gzip etc) them up and forwarding the files through WeTransfer or other file handling service.
