Filtering events and assigning methods

  • Text File: Specify the name of the text file in the Name text box. Specify the directory for the text files. Select the values in the fields Maximum number of log files and Maximum size of log file in MB. If a file has reached the maximum size, logging will be continued in a new file. When the maximum number of files is reached, logging is resumed in the first file. To start a new log, click the Delete log text files button to delete the existing log. This deletes files such as <directory><name>.txt and <directory><name>_<integer value>.txt.
  • Event Viewer: Specify the name of the log view. Event information will be written to a section of that name in the Windows Event Viewer.
  • Log Service: Specify the name of the computer, which runs the Infor BI Repository Administration log service. You must also specify the TCP port number that has been set for the log service. The processing of events by the log service must be configured separately:

    Configuring the Log Service

  • Custom: In the Assembly file box, specify the DLL file of the external log module and specify the name of the internal class that processes the events.
