Changing the log buffer size for a process

The log buffer is the amount of data about a process that the system holds in memory before sending data to the log file.

By default the log buffer size is 5000. You can change this for an individual process.

You might want to do this if you want to check on the execution of a process before it has 5000 bytes of data in memory. Or, you might want to adjust buffer size to make it larger for processes that create large amounts of processing data.

The smaller the buffer, the more times it writes to the log file. Therefore, making a buffer too small can impact performance.

  1. Access the Process Server Administrator and select Configuration > Process Definitions. Depending on the process you want to configure, select User, System, or Application Defined Processes.
  2. From the list of available processes, open the process for which you want to change the log buffer size.
  3. On the Process Definition page, specify the number of bytes you want to hold in buffer in the Log Buffer Size field.
  4. When you are finished making changes to the definition for the process, click Actions > Save.
