File Name

Default Value: etatrans

Description: This parameter defines the transaction log's base file name. The suffix YYYYMMDD-HHMM.log will be appended to this base file name to build the log file name. You can change this parameter to use a different base file name in the PSHOME\Logs folder or to relocate the log file to another folder on your server.

The value of this parameter can be any of the following:

• Simple base name (for example, etatrans), the log is created in the Logs folder in the folder where you installed the Provisioning Server. By default, this makes the log file named C:\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\Provisioning Server\Logs\etatransYYYYMMDD-HHMM.log.
• Relative path (for example, ..\Logs\etatrans), the log path name will be relative to the current directory of the Provisioning Server service (PSHOME\bin). For the example given, this will result in the same pathname as before (C:\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\Provisioning Server\Logs\etatransYYYYMMDD-HHMM.log).
• Absolute path (for example, D:\ProvisioningData\Logs\etatrans), you can specify an alternative drive for your log file. For this example, the resulting log file would be D:\ProvisioningData\Logs\etatransYYYYMMDD-HHMM.log.

The Provisioning Server switches to a new log file every day, every time the Provisioning Server restarts, and any time the log file size exceeds 100 Megabytes.
