Specify Log Options

You select log options for the Harvest SCM output to use.

To specify log options

1. Open the Visual Studio IDE, and select Tools, Options.

   The Options window appears.

2. Expand the Source Control node, and click Logging.

   The Logging options appear.

3. Complete the options as appropriate. The following fields require explanation:

   Log File Path

   Alters the Log file path. The default location for the log files is %TEMP%.

   Enable Debug Logging Using Debug level

   Enables debug logging and specifies a debug level. At the highest level, all debug logs are posted in the log file that is specified the Log File Path field.

   Show all server messages in the Output

   Shows all messages from the server in the Harvest SCM Output window. When you do not select this option, information and warning messages from the server do not appear in the output. For other messages (not from the server), this option does not have an impact.

   Note: For operations like Open Solution from Harvest SCM Explorer or Add Solution to CA Harvest SCM, we recommend that you do not select this option when you are working with many files (for example, ~20000 files and folders).

   Maximum number of logs allowed in the Output

   Increases the maximum number of log entries that the Harvest SCM Output window can display. By default, the value is 500. After the maximum value is reached, old log entries are removed as new log entries are appended. The maximum value that you can specify is 5000.

4. Click OK.

   Log options are set for the Harvest SCM output.
