Enabling application message logs in Rational DOORS
You can enable application message logs in the IBM®
Rational®
DOORS® server
and client to diagnose unexpected behavior.
Before you begin
Procedure
- In the Rational
DOORS
installation, edit the .xml configuration file. By default, those files are in the root path for the Rational DOORS client and server installations.
- Server example: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.6\logging-config.xml
- Client example: C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.6\logging-config-client.xml
- Replace the ${LOG_FOLDER_LOCATION} value of the file
appender with an accessible path. For example:
<param name="file" value="c:\IBM\DOORS\log\SystemTrace.log" \>
- Start the component by using the -logxconfig command-line switch. Note: When you start the component on a Windows computer, instead of using command-line parameters to enable application message logging, you can enable it by creating a registry key. The key is named logxconfig and it uses the value of the component .xml configuration file.
- To enable application message logs for the server, start the Rational
DOORS database
server by using the -logxconfig logging_file_name command-line switch. Be sure to
include -debug. For example,
C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.version\doorsd -debug -logxconfig logging-config.xml
- To enable application message logs for the client, start the Rational
DOORS client
by using the -logxconfig logging_file_name command-line switch. For example,
C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.6\doors -logxconfig logging-config-client.xml
- To enable application message logs for the server, start the Rational
DOORS database
server by using the -logxconfig logging_file_name command-line switch. Be sure to
include -debug. For example,
