Enabling and configuring flat-file logging

After changing the location of the log files, the old log files should be deleted manually and the CoreService server should be restarted.

  1. Activate summary log files to get an accumulated daily log file.
  2. Specify the server path of the Location where the files will be stored.
  3. Specify a file Prefix and Suffix for the file name.
  4. Enter the Number of files to be accumulated per summary. If the number of files exceeds the number the files will be deleted without further notification.
  5. Specify the File extension to define the file type.
  6. Select the Field separator (delimiter) that separates the entries, e. g. tabulator.
  7. Enable the separator (delimiter) to set a flag ("Sep=,") in the first line of the file as well. The flag helps to recognize the beginnings of the logs in the accumulated file.

  9. Specify the server path of the Draft location where the draft versions will be stored.
