Gateway will create two logs at midnight in the C:\Gateway\Logs directory containing all of the previous day’s transactions.
The GW@M@D@Y.TXT file is a listing of all the work completed by Gateway. This file is the same as the FlushRpt.txt file from the Reporter screen. Information about the Gateway Transfer Log can be found below.
Gateway also creates the SC@M@D@Y.err file. This is a listing of all work threads and status during the transfer process. This file contains the same information as the Reporter’s View Error Log file. Information about the Gateway Scanner Log can be found below.

Note: Since these logs are created at midnight, the Time / Date stamp will be for the ‘present’ day even though they contain information about the previous day. |
The Reporter screen saves information related to the transfer of files via the Flush To button. The Flush To field contains the name of the text file that contains the complete report of actions that have taken place (unless one exits Gateway and chooses to not add to the file when prompted). This file is located in the Gateway folder.
This file is updated:
To rename the file, change the name of the file in the Flush To field.

There can be many reasons because a file can not be transferred. Inconsistent network connections, files that are presently in use and files that are missing are all examples of such reasons.
Information about the Scanner log:
The Scanner.err file lists errors and reasons a file was not transferred. This information can also be found in the Error.txt file.
The following is an example of a work thread for an audio cut. Here one can see Gateway transfer the file, update the remote Library database along with the Search database, then update it's own database (cutsaux) with details about the completed transfer.

The following is an example of a work thread for a playlist. Gateway first checks the playlist to see if there are any audio files that need to be transferred. It then queues the list and completes the transfer.
