Starting a New Entire Net-Work Server Log File

You can close the current log file for an Entire Net-Work Server and start a new one at any time. When you do this, the current log file (wcp-svc.log) is saved under a new name and is cleared of all log entries. The name of the renamed log file is assigned in the format wcpnnnnn.log, where nnnnn is an incremental number determined by the number of the most recent log file that was renamed and saved. The log file with the name that includes the highest number is the most recently saved log file.

By default, Entire Net-Work Server log files are stored in the logsvc directory in one of the following locations:

  • In Windows 7 environments: ProgramData\Software AG\Entire Net-Work Server\logsvc75

  • In Linux environments: $SAG\wcp\.

If you would like to specify the location in which server log files should be stored, read Specifying the Entire Net-Work Server Log File Location.

Specifying the Entire Net-Work Server Log File Location

You can specify the fully-qualified path of the directory in which log files should be stored. If you do not specify a log file location, the default location for server log files (the logsvc directory) will be used. This directory will be stored in one of the following locations:

  • In Windows 7 environments: ProgramData\Software AG\Entire Net-Work Server\logsvc75

  • In Linux environments: $SAG\wcp\.

Note:
If you want to put your Entire Net-Work log files on a shared server, read Directing Log Files to a Shared Server. However, please be sure that the directory name you specify for the log files for each server is unique.
