Configuring WebSpeed and NameServer log files
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:
*[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 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.
