Configuration tab
Enables the log service.
If this option is not selected, the following configuration properties are not passed to the application server trace service at server startup.
Specifies where trace output should be written.
The trace output can be written directly to an output file, or stored in memory and written to a file on demand using the Dump button found on the run-time page.
The self-managing log file writes messages to the file until the specified maximum file size is reached. When the file reaches the specified size, logging is temporarily suspended and the log file is closed and renamed. The new name is based on the original name of the file, plus a timestamp qualifier that indicates when the renaming occurred. Once the renaming is complete, a new, empty log file with the original name is reopened, and logging resumes. No messages are lost as a result of the rollover, although a single message may be split across the two files.
This attribute is only valid if the File Size attribute is selected. When the file reaches this size, it is rolled over as described above.
Specifies the format of the trace output.
Runtime tab
Specifies the format of the trace output.
