Trace and log files naming conventions

The Launcher trace and log files are located in the logs directory under install_dir, which is the directory where your product is installed.

The naming convention for the Launcher trace files, previously named launcher.txt, is the following:

Trace File Naming Convention	Description
CompoundSystem_`date`_`time`_`hostname`.txt	For all systems in a single Launcher process
`unique-name_date_time_hostname`.txt	For one or more systems run in separate Launcher processes. `<unique_name>` is the name configured in the Launcher Administration.

The naming convention for the Launcher log files, previously named mercntsv.log on Windows platforms and debug.log on UNIX platforms, is shown in the following table:

Log File Naming Convention	Description
`CompoundSystem<date><time><hostname>.log`	For all systems in a single Launcher process
`<unique_name><date><time><hostname>.log`	For one or more systems run in separate Launcher processes. `<unique_name>` is the name configured in the Launcher Administration.

The name and location of these log files within the initialization file are not used. The content of the log files from the resource manager and connections manager, previously named dtxrmgr.log, are written to the Launcher log for each process.
