Editing Configuration and Log Files

Use the Edit Configuration/Log Files menu to view the application server and Tuxedo log files. You can also manually edit the PSAPPSRV.CFG file if you do not want to use the PSADMIN interface.

To have PSADMIN start your text editor (such as Notepad or KEDIT) so that you can manually edit or view application server configuration and log files, you must specify the text editor in the environment settings. For example, to use KEDIT, the editor environment setting should look like this:

set EDITOR=c:\apps\kedit\keditw32.exe

To use Notepad, it should look like this:

set EDITOR=c:\Windows\Notepad.exe

Note:

You can view and edit a domain's PSAPPSRV.CFG file while the domain is running, but the changes that you specify do not take effect until the next time you reconfigure the domain.

For the following options, you must enter your operator ID to view and edit the files:

Edit PSAPPSRV.tracesql (PSAPPSRV SQL trace file)
Edit PSSAMSRV.tracesql (PSSAMSRV SQL trace file)

For example:

Command to execute (1-7, q) [q]: 5
Enter the operator ID : PTXYZ

Note:

PeopleSoft secures the Structured Query Language (SQL) traces because, in some instances, the SQL that is traced may involve sensitive information.

Note:

Server configuration files (.CFG) support the use of environment variables, such as %PS_HOME%, %TEMP%, and so on.

Edit PSAPPSRV.CFG

The PSAPPSRV.CFG file contains all of the configuration settings for an application server domain. The PSADMIN interface provides prompts so that you can edit and modify this file within a structured format. In many cases, and perhaps due to personal preference, you may opt to edit the PSAPPSRV.CFG file manually in a text editor. When editing this configuration file manually, note that it is similar to editing an INI file, because all of the parameters are grouped in sections.

Edit APPSRV.LOG

This log file contains PeopleTools specific logging information.

Edit TUXLOG

The TUXLOG file enables you to trace the Tuxedo component for troubleshooting information.

Edit PSAPPSRV.tracesql

You can specifically trace the activity of the PSAPPSRV server process by setting the PSAPPSRV.tracesql option.

Edit PSSAMSRV.tracesql

You can specifically trace the activity of the PSSAMSRV server process by setting the PSSAMSRV.tracesql option.
