Enabling logging

Excel Services offers logging capability to record the details of inserting a view for support purposes.

Once logging is enabled and a view is inserted, you can review the details on the Excel Services DebugLog.txt output file. This file is located in the Excel Services directory.

To enable the logging, update the registry:

  1. Run regedit.exe to open the Registry Editor.
  2. Go to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\ComshareXL\Settings folder.
  3. Add a sub-key named Logging and set the value to True.
