JMP Wish List

We want to hear your ideas for improving JMP software.

  1. Search: Please search for an existing idea first before submitting a new idea.
  2. Submit: Post your new idea using the Suggest an Idea button. Please submit one actionable idea per post rather than a single post with multiple ideas.
  3. Kudo & Comment Kudo ideas you like, and comment to add to an idea.
  4. Subscribe: Follow the status of ideas you like. Refer to status definitions to understand where an idea is in its lifecycle. (You are automatically subscribed to ideas you've submitted or commented on.)

We consider several factors when looking for what ideas to add to JMP. This includes what will have the greatest benefit to our customers based on scope, needs and current resources. Product ideas help us decide what features to work on next. Additionally, we often look to ideas for inspiration on how to add value to developments already in our pipeline or enhancements to new or existing features.

Provide option to write log file to disk (in parallel with the log window), flushing output every line.

What inspired this wish list request? 

>>> Monitoring the JMP log remotely is very difficult.  Currently, it requires issuing frequent Save Log commands.  Even then, it appears that that command completely rewrites the log file (rather than just appending to it), which is very inefficient.  And it's not an up-to-date output since it requires a Save Log command for each update.

 

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

>>> As a JSL option, enable automatic writing of any log console info, (e.g., Write, Show, error output), to a script-specified file name.  Flush this buffer after each newline (and maybe also after some period of time in case of output without any or many newlines).

 

Why is this idea important? 

>>> Provides for quality monitoring of JSL script execution progress via the log output without having to be viewing the JMP UI (which is problematic in itself in that it can often put up windows that cover the log window).  This feature would also provide for programmatic monitoring of program execution.
