Author Logparser 2.1 problems importing logfiles

Hi all,

I am trying to import some logfiles to SQL Server Table(WebTraffic)
using the Logparser COM in a C# environment. However I have encountered
a bit of a problem in that the results are not consistent. If try import
the log file, every new importation results in a different number of
rows and consequently the total webtraffic that I am interested in. I am
using the following query:

SELECT LogFilename, date, s-ip as sip, c-ip as cip, SUM(sc-bytes) as
scBytes, SUM(cs-bytes) as csBytes
FROM ex040801.log
TO WebTraffic
WHERE s-ip = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
GROUP BY LogFilename, c-ip, s-ip, date

(I am grouping by client ip to reduce the number of lines inserted into
the SQL table)and execute it using

MSUtil.COMSQLOutputContextClass outputContext = new
MSUtil.COMSQLOutputContextClassClass();

MSUtil.COMIISW3CInputContextClass inputContext =new
MSUtil.COMIISW3CInputContextClassClass();

logQuery.ExecuteBatch(query, inputContext,outputContext);

Does anyone have any idea where I am going wrong or can give me some
clue of what is going on???

Any Help will be much appreciated.....

well.

Might try posting in the forum on LogParser.com. The programmer who
wrote LogParser monitors them and answers questions fairly quickly.

Plus, there's obvious issue if this is the active log file that the
log is growing and you should expect changes.

Thank you for the replies, I tried out the logparser forums, and have
discovered that the problem stems from a known issue Q10022 (found on
their site), where importing data in some situations leads to some lines
being skipped and from that point on then duplicated.

I hope that they come up with a new version soon to fix this....
