Log files are output to installation-directory\log for each type of information for error analysis purposes. With normal operation, there is no need to change the default values. If the log information takes up too much space on the disk, you can adjust values.

Generations of log file to be saved

Specify the number of log generations to be saved. Specify the value in the range from 1 to 999. The default is 5.

Maximum lines in a log file

Specify the number of output lines for the log files shown below. Specify the value in the range from 500 to 9,999 lines. The following table shows the default value and file names of each log type.

Item	Default value	File names
MAIN file	700	MAIN.LOG
USER file	700	BUILD.LOG SCRIPT.LOG USER.LOG
COMPO file	700	API.LOG ATRFILE.LOG BSAPI.LOG CLTPROTO.LOG DEFAULT.LOG EXCFILE.LOG MNGFILE.LOG RDBMENTE.LOG SERVICE.LOG SRVSOCK.LOG STSFILE.LOG WSH.LOG
FUNC file	2000	AMTAPI.LOG CLIENT.LOG CLTDEL.LOG DCMAMT.LOG DISCVRY.LOG DLL.LOG DPT.LOG INVENTRY.LOG MLTPROTO.LOG MONRST.LOG MONTRACE.LOG NDGMENT.LOG PSM.LOG SCHEDULE.LOG SCHTRACE.LOG SERVER.LOG SITE.LOG SRVAPI.LOG SRVLOCK.LOG USER_CLT.LOG WRAPPER.LOG
LONG file	700	DUMP.LOG NODE.LOG NODEOPR.LOG RDBSRV.LOG USERINV.LOG

The number of log generations to be saved or the number of log entries cannot be set for the following types of log files:

• alerterr.log
• alerthis.log
• CSVODBC.log
• CSVODBCSYS.log
• Dmoledb.log
• DPTExpt.log
• DPTInpt.log
• INVODBC.log
• rimfindn.log
• smartn.log
• SMC.LOG
• SMCAPP64.LOG
• SMCCMDS.LOG
• SMCCSAPP.LOG
• SMCDEV64.LOG
• SMCDEVICECHANGE.LOG
• SMCDEVSR.LOG
• SMCUAP64.LOG
• SMCUSAGE.LOG
• SMCUSAPP.LOG

You can use the following formula to determine the size of each log file:

Size of a log file (bytes) =

(size of the header + (size of 1 entry x number of entries)) x (number of generations + 1)

Size of the header: 17 bytes

Size of 1 entry: 192 bytes (use 300 bytes in the case of a LONG file)

You can select whether to output messages to the Windows NT Event Viewer. By default, this check box is selected. Note that you cannot control whether to output messages to Event Viewer during JP1/Software Distribution Manager or relay manager setup. These messages are always output to Event Viewer.

If you are outputting messages to Event Viewer, you can select whether to output the following three sets of messages.

• Error
• Error, Warning
• Error, Warning, Information
