Configuring Log File for Client Automation Integration for MDM

The Client Automation Integration for MDM uses Apache log4net for logging capability. You can configure MDMDataIn_Log4net.config file for common log file generation settings such as log levels, maximum number of log files backup, maximum file size.

• The default path for MDMDataIn_Log4net.config file is CA\DSM\Bin.
• By default the generated log file name is TRC_MDM_MDM DataIn.log under the path CA\DSM\logs\TRC_MDM_MDMDataIn.log
• If there are multiple log files, the file name is appended with incremental number.

  For example, TRC_MDM_MDMDataIn.log, TRC_MDM_MDMDataIn.log.1, TRC_MDM_MDMDataIn.log.2 and so on.

The following is an example MDMDataIn_Log4net.config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<log4net>
<root>
<!—
OFF - nothing gets logged (cannot be called)
         	FATAL
         	ERROR
        	 WARN
         	INFO
         	DEBUG
         	ALL - everything gets logged (cannot be called)
    	-->
      <level value="Error" />
      <appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" />
</root>
<appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender" >
      	<file value="../logs/TRC_MDM_MDMDataIn.log"/>
      	<appendToFile value="true" />
      	<rollingStyle value="Size" />
      	<maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
      	<maximumFileSize value="5MB" />
      	<staticLogFileName value="true" />
      	<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        	 <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %level %logger - %message%newline%exception" /> 
</layout>
</appender>
</log4net>
