Hi,

We have a custom DLL that we use to handle some extra functions (writing into specific database …)  
The dll uses log4net to write to a log file, but the file is not created.

Is it possible to create a costum log from a dll ?

Hi @salah.frq,

Yes, it is possible to create a custom log from a DLL.  
Is your custom action running successfully without errors? If yes, did you try creating the log at the beginning of the code to see if it’s passing through the intended code?
