Creating Custom Logging Profile

The example in this topic describes how to create a logging profile that enables General Log, Synchronization Dump, and SOAP Dump log entries and sets verbosity for the General Log to Warning.

To create a custom logging profile

1. In Microsoft Windows, choose Start and then click Run.
2. In the Run dialog box, enter REGEDIT and then click OK.
3. Locate the following key:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oracle\CRM Desktop for IBM Notes\LoggingProfiles

4. Create a subkey in the key that you located in Step 3.

   Enter a name for this subkey. At run time, CRM Desktop displays this name in the logging profile in the Logging Policy drop-down list of the Logging Configuration dialog box. You cannot localize a profile name. CRM Desktop stores this name in the registry with the settings that you specify for the profile. For more information, see Assigning Logging Profiles for Siebel CRM Desktop.

5. Create the following subkeys in the subkey that you create in Step 4. Create one subkey for each row that the following table contains.

   Sub Key Name	Enable	Description
   GeneralLog	Yes	Set the value of the log_level parameter to the following decimal value: 3000 This value configures CRM Desktop to log only warnings. For performance reasons, it is recommended that CRM Desktop log only warnings during normal operations. For more information, see Parameters You Can Use with the General Log.
   ExceptionLog	No	For more information, see Parameters You Can Use with the Exception Log.
   CrashDump	No	For more information, see Parameters You Can Use with the Crash Log.
   SoapDump	Yes	For more information, see Parameter You Can Use with the SOAP Log.
   SyncDump	Yes	For more information, see Parameters You Can Use with the Synchronization Log.

   If you remove CRM Desktop at some point in the future, then it clears all registry settings during removal.

6. Assign your custom profile.
