Logging
You may know that Papyrus-RT provides a logging mechanism, the "Log" service, that can be used within your model to output information from you model. By default, this information is sent to the standard error output, e.g., "stderr." So to see the output of the log, you can simply run your application from the command line and look at the output, e.g.,
./MyApp
You can also redirect the output to a file:
./MyApp</ >& myAppLog.log
You can also turn this on programmatically, in cases where you can not change the command line, e.g., for an application running on an embedded platform or if you want to selectively log parts of the execution.
This is done by using the "redirect" method (message) on the port:
log.redirect("mylog.log"); (where ""mylog.log" is the name of the file where the log will be written.)
This will redirect logging, but only for that specific log port. Other log port will not be affected.
