DSC Module - Changing Citadel Path of Variables Library

[D. Ackermann]

Hello

I am working on a DSC project and am having trouble to find a way to programatically change the citadel logging path of a shared variables libraray.

The application has to run as an Exe. So using the Project properties won't be a solution I guess.

I hope someone can help me on this.

Thanks

After taking a quick glance at some of my code it looks like...

1) Stop logging

2) Use "Create Database.vi" to specify where the data should be stored.

3) Re-start logging.

Dermot - what is the overall big picture? Will this be programmatically changed periodically? Will you need to detach a database at the end of a test?

In my 8.5 DSC application, we first called "Delete Process" before we created the new database. We ran into a few issues that were mostly resolved. Later today I'll dig up the old code and see what else we did that may help you.

Make sure you thoroughly test this!
