Sun Java System Delegated Administrator 6.4 Administration Guide

Delegated Administrator Console Log

The Delegated Administrator console creates a runtime log file:

You can specify your own log file by editing a log properties file named logger.properties.

ProcedureTo specify your own Delegated Administrator console log file

  1. Open the logger.properties file in a text editor.

    The logger.properties file is located by default in the following directory:

    da-base/data/da/WEB-INF/classes/com/sun/comm/da/resources

  2. You can change the following properties in the logger.properties file:

    • da.logging.enable=yes or no

      where yes enables logging and no disables logging.

      By default, logging is disabled. To turn on logging, you must set this value to yes.

    • da.log.file=full pathname

      specifies the directory and file to which logging statements are written. This property changes da.log to a file name and location you specify.

  3. Redeploy the edited logger.properties file to the Web container used by the Delegated Administrator console.

    Before the change can take effect, you must run the script that deploys the customized logger.properties file to your Web container.

    For instructions on how to deploy a customized properties file to a particular Web container, see To Deploy a Customized Configuration File.
