Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
The log files are created automatically when you start Tivoli® Enterprise Portal Server.
About this task
The log file is named in Table 2. View the log files with any text editor.
When the log file reaches a 5 MB size limit, it is closed. A new file is created, with the sequential number added to make the file name unique. By default, five files are saved over the life of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, up to a total of 32 files maximum. When the maximum number of files (5) have been created for a session, the files are overwritten, starting with second of five files. The first file is preserved.
You can change these values through the Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services application as follows:
Procedure
- Right-click the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server row.
- Select Advanced in the pop-up menu.
- Select Edit Trace Parms to access the dialog box where you can configure logging behavior.
