System and user logging in Document Manager

Question & Answer


Question

How do I enable system and user logging in Document Manager?

Answer

Each Document Manager Service may be enabled to generate activity trace files. The Document Manager Services that include this feature are: Automation, Lifecycle, Notification, Print/Plot, Rendition, Alarm Manager, and Cache Manager.

To enable service logging for any of these Services:

  1. Start the Document Manager Service Monitor.
  2. Right-click the Cache Service and select Service Properties (this launches the Service Properties dialog).
  3. Select the specified library where you want to turn on logging and then select Edit.
  4. Select the Logging tab.
  5. Select Generate Log Files.
  6. Select Log Detailed Messages.
  7. You may also specify the log file size. Once the size limit is reached, the log file will be overwritten. We recommend a size of 10,000k, which allows you to capture several days of service information.

The trace file for each service is stored in the DB2 Document Manager installation directory on the DM Server. The installation default is C:\Program Files\IBM\DB2 Document Manager.

To enable logging for individual DM Desktop users:
  1. Start Designer-> Global -> Desktop -> Library Configuration.
  2. Right-click Library Configuration and select Modify.
  3. Select the Login Security tab.
  4. Select Maintain Server Trace Logs.
  5. Click Apply to save the change.
  6. Run the Cache Service to update the change.

The individual user trace files are stored in a separate directory named log in the DB2 Document Manager installation directory on the DM Server. The installation default for the path is C:\Program Files\IBM\DB2 Document Manager\Log.

A trace file is created and named for each active user id.

Note: User trace files do not have a file size limit. Care should be taken to monitor the size of these file or periodically move them to an off-line storage location for future use.

Traces will be performed for each user id logged in the library from a DM Desktop and the ids in use by the DM Services and DM Designer.
