Setting trace/log file values
When you open a connector configuration file or a connector
definition file, Connector Configurator Express uses the logging
and tracing values of that file as default values. You can change
those values in Connector Configurator Express.
To change the logging and tracing values:
- Click the Trace/Log Files tab.
- For either logging or tracing, you can choose to write messages
to one or both of the following:
- To console (STDOUT): Writes logging or tracing messages to the
STDOUT display.
Note:
You can only use the STDOUT option from the Trace/Log Files tab
for connectors running on the Windows platform.
- To File: Writes logging or tracing messages to a file that you
specify. To specify the file, click the directory button (ellipsis),
navigate to the preferred location, provide a file name, and click Save. Logging
or tracing message are written to the file and location that you
specify.
Note:
Both logging and tracing files are simple text files.
You can use the file extension that you prefer when you set their
file names. For tracing files, however, it is advisable to use the extension .trace rather than .trc, to avoid confusion with other files that might reside on
the system. For logging files, .log and .txt are typical file extensions.
