Logging prefixes

Here's a stupid question. When I look at an OD log file (the big one - is that macro or micro?) most of the entries in the log have a strange prefix ENG: or LIB: and maybe others but these are the ones I notice the most. What the **** do they mean? I was trying to debug one of those incredibly vague error messages and it seemed like these prefixes are supposed to mean something, but I can't figure out what. Are they suppsed to be helpful or intuitive? They are neither...

Dave,

We've begun doc'ing some error messages in the OD 6.0 Reference. (It's just a starter list, but we intend to continue adding to it over time.) Included is an explanation for each prefix:

LIB messages pertain to OpenDeploy server (i.e., base server or receiver) activity during deployments.

ENG messages pertain to deployment activity.

API messages result from calls to the base server or receiver via the command line tools, administrative user interface or web services.

SVR messages pertain to OpenDeploy server activity.

CFG messages pertain to processing of configuration files.

Hope that helps.

Todd
