Log Settings

The Log Settings component presents settings for several log files. The table in the right-hand part of the Administration Console displays in the left column the options and in the right one drop-down lists or entry fields for the settings. In the lower part of the table you find brief descriptions of the options (which are displayed when clicking them).

Note: The settings marked by an * can be applied at runtime to the database. Click the Apply Runtime Settings command of the shortcut menu of the corresponding database to execute the settings at runtime.

Log level *	This setting refers to the values logged in the Transaction Log. The BASIC setting restricts logging to those values entered manually by the user; this level corresponds to the mode used so far in Alea 4.1. The ALL setting records all changes made to cube values, especially those resulting from import and data area operations.
Internal Settings

If you change the settings by modifying the ALEA.INI or DB.INI files, or by using a separate window within the MMC, the resulting changes are visible only if you first click another component and then click the changed component again.
