COM Proxy › Preparing for Execution › Trace Log and Configuration File Locations › Log File Name

Log File Name

Once registered the COM Proxies are consumed either directly by an application or through a call to a Web application using IIS. It is the combination of how it is registered and how it is consumed that determines the log file name:

• If the COM Proxy is consumed by a standalone COM aware application through a call to CoInitialize, the log file will be named:

  trace-<appname>-<procid>.out

  appname

  Indicates the name of the consuming application.

  procid

  Indicates the process ID corresponding to that application.

• If the COM Proxy is consumed by an IIS web application that consumes the COM Proxy that was registered through regsvr32, the log file will be named:

  trace-w3wp-<procid>.out

  w3wp

  Specifies the name of the IIS application host process which is IIS6 and later.

  procid

  Indicates is the process ID corresponding to that application.

• If the COM Proxy is consumed by a standalone or IIS web application accessing a COM Proxy that has been configured using Windows Component Services, the log file will be named:

  trace-dllhost-<procid>.out

  dllhost

  Specifies the name of the Component Services application host process.

  procid

  Indicates the process ID corresponding to that application.
