UDS Log File

All User Data Service (UDS) information and actions are recorded in the arcotuds.log file. This information includes:

• UDS database connectivity information
• UDS database configuration information
• UDS instance information and the actions performed by this instance

The information in this file is very useful in identifying the source of the problems if the Administration Console could not connect to the UDS instance. The default location of this file is:

Windows:

<install_location>\Arcot Systems\logs\

UNIX-Based:

<install_location>/arcot/logs/

The parameters that control logging in this file can be configured by using the udsserver.ini file, which is available in the conf folder in ARCOT_HOME.

In addition to the logging level, log file name and path, the maximum file size (in bytes), and archiving information, you can also control the layout of the logging pattern for UDS by specifying the appropriate values for log4j.appender.debuglog.layout.ConversionPattern. See section, "Format of UDS and Administration Console Log Files" for details of the default format used in the file.
