LOGFILE-NAME attribute

LOGFILE-NAME attribute

The name of log file OpenEdge uses to log messages and ABL stack trace information.

Data type: CHARACTER

Access: Readable/Writeable for LOG-MANAGER
Readable for DSLOG-MANAGER

Applies to: DSLOG-MANAGER system handle, LOG-MANAGER system handle

If the filename you supply is a relative pathname, then a file is accessed relative to the current working directory. If the filename is an absolute pathname, then the specified file is accessed.

Note: Do not include a numbered sequence in the filename. This might conflict with the rolled over log files OpenEdge creates based on your NUM-LOG-FILES attribute and LOG-THRESHOLD attribute settings.

When the specified log file is open, this LOG-MANAGER attribute is read-only. This attribute is always read-only for the DSLOG-MANAGER system handle.

For the LOG-MANAGER system handle, the LOGFILE-NAME attribute corresponds to the Client Logging (-clientlog) startup parameter. For the DSLOG-MANAGER system handle, this attribute corresponds to the DataServer Logging (-dslog) startup parameter when the client is self-service or client/server using ProBroker. For DataServer Broker instances of the Unified Broker, the read-only LOGFILE-NAME attribute corresponds to the srvrDSLogFile attribute in the ubroker.properties file.

Use the LOG-ENTRY-TYPES attribute or the Log Entry Types (-logentrytypes) startup parameter to specify one or more types of log entries you want to write to the log file. Use the LOGGING-LEVEL attribute or the Logging Level (-logginglevel) startup parameter to specify a general level at which log entries are written to the log file.

For more information about the Client Logging (-clientlog), DataServer Logging (-dslog), Log Entry Types (-logentrytypes), and Logging Level (-logginglevel) startup parameters, see OpenEdge Deployment: Startup Command and Parameter Reference, OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server, and OpenEdge Development: Debugging and Troubleshooting.
