Hello,
We are developing a test automation framework in .Net which internally uses
STAF (customized as per our requirements). We are also using the STAF
logging for framework logging. Now we want to log the messages in the
Framework directory and not in STAF MACHINE log directory. For doing this we
wanted to set the variable for log directory (though this can be done with
STAF.cfg- explained later why we don't want this way), but this is currently
not happening. We don't want to do this in the STAF.cfg file, as if one
wants to move the framework from one location to another, then he has to
remember and change the STAF.cfg file for the LOG directory location in the
STAF.cfg file( and if he/she forgets then the log messages will be logged
somewhere else - which is not what we expected). It looks a little more
buggy and less maintainable. Depending on these LOGS our framework will
generate some report. So, for this the log directory should be known to the
framework and we decided to log in the framework directory itself. This is
why we want to set the log directory programmatically and not using STAF.cfg
file.
Let us know how we can proceed with this. Also let us know if there is any
other cleaner way via which we can do this at runtime ( and not using the
STAF.cfg static way)? Get back to us if the above is still not clear.

It's not really practical to allow the STAF Data Directory to change
dynamically. There's the potential that specific items could be allowed to
change dynamically, such as the logging directory. It would be good to know
what things you feel you need dynamic control over, and why. Some things
may already be possibly, some things may have alternative solutions, and
others we might readily be able to implement.
Note, if you only really needed to change the STAF Data Directory once, then
you could conceivably alter the STAF.cfg file and restart STAFProc. The
process would be a little cumbersome, but is doable.
