Log File Description

The log file is a collection of records intended primarily for the system administrator.

The DirectConnect server provides several facilities for logging and reporting information. It uses these facilities during start-up, setup, and connection routing. The log file begins recording information each time you start the server and continues recording messages the entire time the server runs.

While the actual data in any log file depends upon the product and events, representative log file data can include:

Performance data and timestamps
Client connection activity
Client messages
Statistics
SQL language, as received and after transformation
Host communications
Host server file information

The maximum size of any ECDA log record is 32,767 characters.

You can enable or disable logging at these levels:

DirectConnect server
Service library
