   • The attributes Priority and InlineServicePriority can be set to DEBUG, INFO, WARN, or ERROR to control the level of logging messages that are written to the server log.

   • The attribute LogFile determines the location of the server log and is by default set to RTD_HOME\log\server.log.

5. Press Enter. To cancel your changes, press the Esc key.
