Configuring Purge Transaction Log Files

About this task

You can configure purges to write log files to a directory you specify. Each time you run a particular purge, new data is appended to this file. If no file exists, one is created.

To specify purge log file directory:

Procedure

  1. Edit the <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/yfs.properties file.
  2. Set yfs.purge.path=<full absolute path of log directory>.

    For example, on UNIX you might specify the log files to be written to the /app/yfs/logs/purges directory.

    If the value for the yfs.purge.path is not passed, it defaults to the value specified in the yfs.properties file. If a variable is introduced, then the yfs.purge.path is ignored. To modify this property, add an entry for it in the <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/customer_overrides.properties file. For additional information about modifying properties and the customer_overrides.properties file, see Configuring property files.

    For information about filename limitations related to internationalization, see Localizing Foundation.
