Example: Changing the Console view character limit flag

Edit online

You can control the size of the log information kept in the console view. By default, the maximum size is set to 100000 characters.

Procedure

  1. Open the configuration file for the Document Studio application with a text editor.
    The default location of the configuration file is: PUB_install_dir\studio\rpe-studio.ini
  2. Locate the -Dcom.ibm.rational.rpe.console.limit parameter.
  3. Increase or decrease the value.
    • If the value is smaller than 100000 or not set at all, no limit is set for the logs in the Console view.
    • If the value is greater than 100000, the maximum limit size is set in the Console view.
      Draft comment:
      "Size" seems vague to me. When you increase or decrease these numbers, what are you gaining or losing? Does a long message just get cut off? Or does the message itself get changed to display differently?

      Are these values right? I find the second one confusing. KK 12/22/11
