Unable To View Large Log File.
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 5 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi,
I have a 19GB log file that I really need to be able to open to view the error. This particular job took 15 days to finish so I'd like to open the log file to see which file it skipped and just backup those file without having to re-run the entire job again. Does anyone know how I can open this log file? Everytime I try to open it , I get an error and it says the file is available in .txt though I can't find the .txt anywhere. Is it possible to break up the log file in sections? What program can I use to do that?

you can break the xml file up
you can break the xml file up into sections using a file splitter. Can you look in the event logs to see if the job failure was logged to the winodws event logs or if there was an alert generated with the error message?

There are error entries in
There are error entries in system event viewer however it does not specify which file were skipped. I'm mostly interested in knowing which file were skipped during the process. I will try splitting the the large xml to smaller chunks.

I was able to find a xml
I was able to find a xml freeware that was capable of opening large xml files. Within there I was then able to navigate to the error portion and find the skipped files.
Thank you very much for your help.
