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\LoggingProfiles 
    
  4. Create a subkey in the key that you located in step 3.

    Enter a name for this subkey. At run time, Siebel 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. Siebel 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 Siebel CRM Desktop to log only warnings. For performance reasons, it is recommended that Siebel 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 Siebel CRM Desktop at some point in the future, then it clears all registry settings during removal.

  6. Assign your custom profile.

    • Group policy

    • System policy
