Registry Configuration

For CA DataMinder log files that are not maintained by the infrastructure (for example, the iConsole, Event Import and Universal Adapter logs) you must edit the registry if you want to copy CA DataMinder log entries to the local Windows Application log.

Specifically, you need modify the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ComputerAssociates\CA DataMinder
    \CurrentVersion\Logging

Within this registry key, edit the following value:

EventLogLevel

Type: REG_DWORD

Data: Defaults to 0. This determines whether or not CA DataMinder log entries are copied to the local Windows Application log. The default value of zero disables Windows logging. That is, log entries are not copied to the Windows log. If you specify a non-zero value, entries are copied to the Windows log. The supported logging levels are:

0

Disable Windows logging. But see the iConsole ‘lost connection’ note below.

1

Errors only

As 2, plus informational and status messages

Lost connection between iConsole servers

If a connection failure occurs between the iConsole application server and front-end Web server, CA DataMinder log entries are automatically written to the local Windows log file on the front-end Web server, regardless of how EventLogLevel is configured. This precaution is vital for diagnosing such connection failures.
