Log files

Rational® Rhapsody® creates log files for recording information related to loading of models, saving of models, and code generation from models.

When troubleshooting problems, you can view the log files that IBM® Rational Rhapsody uses for recording information related to:

The logging settings, such as the file names for the log files, are defined in the rhapsody.properties file located in the [installation directory]\Share\Log directory.

You can change the path of a log file by modifying the value of the fileHandler.fileName variable. If a directory name is not included in the path, the log file is saved to the operating system's temp directory. When specifying a path, use forward slashes, for example, c:/logs/rhapsody/load.log. (This applies to Windows users as well.)

The level of information recorded is determined by the value of the variable lf.level. The possible values, from the highest to lowest threshold, are:

To turn off logging, set the value of the [logger name].logging variable to false, for example, Load.logging=false. (This variable might not be present in the file by default.) To turn logging back on, set the value of this variable to true or remove it altogether from the file.

Tip: The log files are not created until the first time there is a need for the file. For example, the log file for model loading is only created the first time there is a problem loading a model.
