Write logs to a file

akshayloya

Hi,

I have made a model builder tool. I need to save the logs of this tool in a log file on my D drive of system. Any idea how it can be automated ?

Secondly can I call some other windows schedule event once the model is executed ?

Any help or insights will be much appreciated.

You can set up a python script to run the model (output goes to stdout)

<SPAN class="comment token"># Python script to run model</SPAN>
<SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> arcpy
arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>ImportToolbox<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>r<SPAN class="string token">"\\path\foo.tbx"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"bar"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>bar<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>MyModel<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

And launch the python script to run the python script (which runs the model) and capture the output:

:: bat script to run python script and catch output
echo Model run: %DATE%%TIME% >> D:\logs\mymodel.txt
C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.5\python.exe batchpy.py 2>&1 >> D:\logs\mymodel.txt‍‍‍
:: do next thing when model is done
echo Doing next thing >> D:\logs\mymodel.txt
cmd /c D:\logs\otherthing.bat<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>
