SetLogHistory (arcpy)

Summary

For script tools and stand-alone scripts (scripts run outside of an ArcGIS application), you can enable or disable history logging using the SetLogHistory function.

When log history is activated, after each geoprocessing tool is run, an entry with the information about the tool will be added to:

• The history log file, an Extensible Markup language (XML) file.
• The Geoprocessing history section of the metadata of the data modified or created by the tool.
