Specifying the Transaction Logs

The transaction log records the information about each transaction in order to maintain the data integrity of the resources involved and to recover from failures. Transaction logs are kept in the tx subdirectory of the directory specified by the Transaction Log Location field. These logs are not human readable.

To set the location of the transaction logs using the Administration Console, select Configuration>Transaction Service. The Transaction Service page displays the general transaction service settings. Enter the location of the transaction logs in the Transaction Log Location field.

A tx subdirectory is created and transaction logs are kept under that directory.
