Configuring a CA Workload Automation AE Instance › Set Legacy Enterprise Wide Logging Directory

Set Legacy Enterprise Wide Logging Directory

You can define the legacy enterprise wide logging directory on the scheduler computer where CA Workload Automation AE writes the legacy agent's (4.0, 4.5, 4.5.1, and r11) log files to. This directory must be writable and must exist on startup. For legacy agents, you can override the legacy enterprise wide logging directory by setting the local agent logging directory.

Notes:

• The agent on the local computer uses its own logging directory, which is created during the CA Workload Automation AE installation.
• The Legacy Enterprise Wide Logging Directory parameter applies to legacy agents only.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Start, Programs, CA, Workload Automation AE, Administrator.

   The Instance - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window opens.

2. Select the instance you want to set the legacy enterprise wide logging directory for from the Instance drop-down list in the Settings pane.
3. Click the Services icon on the toolbar.

   The Services - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears, displaying a list of services installed on the selected instance.

4. Right-click the scheduler and select Stop. Repeat this action for the application server.

   The scheduler and application server stop.

5. Click the Instance icon on the toolbar.

   The Instance - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears.

6. Enter the path in the Legacy Enterprise Wide Logging Directory field, and click Apply.
7. Click the Services icon on the toolbar.

   The Services - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears, displaying a list of services installed on the selected instance.

8. Right-click the scheduler and select Start. Repeat this action for the application server.

   The scheduler and application server start. The legacy enterprise wide logging directory is set.

Note: In a distributed environment where a UNIX scheduler starts a job on a Windows legacy agent (or a Windows scheduler starts a job on a UNIX legacy agent), the path to the log files directory is translated into the format expected by the recipient operating environment. A UNIX agent removes the drive letter and colon, if present, and replaces \ characters with / characters. For example, C:\tmp becomes /tmp. A Windows remote agent adds the system drive letter and colon (if none is present), and replaces all / characters with \ characters. For example, /tmp becomes C:\tmp.
