For disk management reasons, you might want to specify a non-default 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:
After you decide where you want the 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
WebSpeed administration.
Because the log files receive the WebSpeed and NameServer startup and shutdown messages, OpenEdge system messages, and trace messages, the 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 files with a text editor. You might want to archive the contents of the files as you do it. For more information on maintaining log files, see
Maintaining the WebSpeed Transaction Server and NameServer log files.
