Set Up Log Files

CA XCOM Data Transport automatically collects information about transfers and stores it in a log file. Read the log file to see information about transfers which by default is located in the %XCOM_HOME%\xcom.log file. The log contains information such as when a transfer was started, stopped, completed, deleted, suspended, or aged off of the queue. For each transfer, it shows the time, date, Transfer ID, and number of blocks and bytes transmitted. A different log file can be specified for a transfer by specifying the XLOGFILE parameter as shown in the examples:

Note: %XCOM_HOME% is an environment variable.

Example 1:
