Table I‒4: Items to be set in the jpccomm.ini file and their initial values
No.	Item	Explanation
1	`[Action Log Section]`	Section name. This cannot be changed.
2	`Action Log Mode`	Specifies whether to output action logs. This item must be specified. Initial value `0` (Do not output action logs.) Values that can be specified `0` (Do not output action logs.), `1` (Output action logs.) If any other value is specified, an error message is issued, and no action log is output.
3	`Action Log Dir`	Specify the output destination for action logs as an absolute path. In a logical host environment, specify a directory on the shared disk. If the directory you specify is not on the shared disk, Performance Management will output action logs to each physical host that forms the basis for the logical host. If you specify a path that exceeds the maximum allowable length or the system is unable to access the directory, an error message is output to the common message log and Performance Management will not output action logs. Initial value: Omitted Value used when this item is omitted (default): On physical hosts: `installation-folder\auditlog` On logical hosts: `environment-directory\jp1pc\auditlog` Available values: Character strings from 1 to 185 bytes in length
4	`Action Log Num`	Specifies the upper limit for the total number of log files (number of files to be saved). Specify the total for the current output file and shift files. Initial value Omitted Value that is used when specification is omitted (default value) `5` Value that can be specified An integer between 2 and 10 If a non-numeric character string is specified, an error message is output and the default value of `5` is set. If a value outside the range is specified, an error message is output and an integer between 2 and 10 that is closest to the specified value is set.
5	`Action Log Size`	Specifies the log file size in kilobytes. Initial value Omitted Value that is used when specification is omitted (default value) `2048` Value that can be specified An integer between 512 and 2,096,128 If a non-numeric character string is specified, an error message is output and the default value of `2,048` is set. If a value outside the range is specified, an error message is output and an integer between 512 and 2,096,128 that is closest to the specified value is set.
