Starting a New Entire Net-Work Client Log File

You can close the current Entire Net-Work Client log file and start a new one at any time. The original log file is retained, but is renamed with a name in the format netxxxxx.log, where xxxxx is an automatically assigned sequence number for the log file. For example, the first retained log file is assigned the name net00000.log, the second is assigned the name net00001.log, and so on. The older log files, therefore, have the lower sequence numbers. The current log file is the file named net-svc.log.

Entire Net-Work Client log files are stored in the logsvc directory wherever Entire Net-Work Client is installed. For example, the default location in Windows environments is Program Files\Software AG\Entire Net-Work Client\logsvc.
