Opens a logchannel or returns a reference to an opened logchannel.

[Visual Basic]
Public Shared Function OpenLogChannel( _
   ByVal LogChannelName As String _
) As ITOutputLogChannel

[C#]
public static ITOutputLogChannel OpenLogChannel( 
   string LogChannelName
);

public static function OpenLogChannel( 
   LogChannelName : String
) : ITOutputLogChannel;

Parameters

LogChannelName

The name of the logchannel, as defined in the configuration file.

Remarks

Actions:

• If the logchannel isn’t already open, it tries to open it according to the settings in the configuration file.

Return value:

• True after successful operation
  You get this return value too if the logchannel already was opened before the call.
• False if an error occurred

Note that, as a special case, the standard logchannel ("StdLog") is already opened as part of a successful initialization of the logging library.

Possible errors (just for an impression; enumeration may be incomplete):

• configuration file doesn’t contain an entry for this logchannel
• the entry is incomplete.
