We’ve been having trouble sniffing out what’s going on when delivering code to a very secure environment.


</panel>


## Solution ##

To track what was going on, we created a log file system that worked as follows.

First, we created a Bat file:

    set startdir=.
    set server=localhost
    del ScriptRunnerUtility.log
    set database=Gtm2
    set logfile=ScriptRunnerUtility.log
    call .\ScriptRunnerUtility.bat

that in turn called another bat:

    pause
    echo starting creating the Migration Scripts
    rem for each *.sql in the "startdir" directory.
    for %%f in ("%startdir%\*.sql") do (
    echo  "" >> "%logfile%"
    echo  "" >> "%logfile%"
    echo ************************************************************** >> "%logfile%"
    echo *** Processing %%f *** >> "%logfile%"
    echo ************************************************************** >> "%logfile%"
    rem run the scripts results and output messages to the logfile
    sqlcmd.exe -I -E -S"%server%" -d"%database%" -i"%%f" >> "%startdir%\%logfile%" 
    )
    echo finished running Scripts
    pause

which in turn found all *.sql files in the same folder and ran them.

Each Sql file in turn printed out things to the Console Stream, which the above Bat file

wrote to an output log file…which could be sent back, giving us a good record of how the script installation process went.

It’s a lot of script just to install one stored proc – but it was the only way to see what was going on in a scenario where we didn’t have direct access to the database, and weren’t doing the install ourselves…

Thanks Nat!
