You can enable application message logs in the IBM® Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS®
(DOORS)
server and client to diagnose unexpected behavior.
Procedure
- In the DOORS
installation, edit the .xml configuration file.
By default, those files are in the root path for the
DOORS
client and server installations.
- Server example:
<DOORS_install_dir>\logging-config.xml
- Client example:
<DOORS_install_dir>\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 DOORS
database server by using the -logxconfig logging_file_name command-line switch.
Be sure to include -debug. For example,
<DOORS_install_dir>\doorsd -debug -logxconfig logging-config.xml
- To enable application message logs for the client, start the DOORS
client by using the -logxconfig logging_file_name command-line switch. For example,
<DOORS_install_dir>\doors -logxconfig logging-config-client.xml
