Configuring WebSpeed and NameServer log files
For disk management reasons, you might want to specify a nondefault location for the log files used by WebSpeed. A WebSpeed installation uses a number of different log files, which are stored in the default working directory. For example:
*[TransactionServername.]server.log — WebSpeed Transaction Server log file set using the srvrLogFile property in the [Ubroker] section of the properties file
*[TransactionServername.]broker.log — WebSpeed broker log file set using the brokerLogFile property in the [Ubroker] section of the properties file
*[NameServername.]ns.log — NameServer log file set using the srvrLogFile property in the [NameServer] section of the properties file
After you decide where you want log files to reside, you can specify the location for each in OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer or by directly editing the ubroker.properties file. For more information, see Configuring WebSpeed components .
Log files can grow quickly. If you have the Append option set in the Transaction Server's configuration, these log files do not truncate automatically. In this case, you should periodically trim the file with a text editor. You might want to archive the file contents as you do it.
