# Directing Log Files to a Shared Server

If you are using Entire Net-Work 7.3.3 or Entire Net-Work Client 1.3 or later, you can direct your Entire Net-Work log files to a shared server.

Caution
To avoid overwriting log files with the same name, log files for individual servers, Kernels, and clients should be stored in directories with unique names.

The process of directing log files to a shared server involves the steps (note that the second step is only required on Windows) described in this document.

- Step 1. Specify the Log File Locations

- Step 2. Configure the Entire Net-Work and Entire Net-Work Client Windows Services

## Step 1. Specify the Log File Locations

Using the Adabas Manager (AMN), specify the fully-qualified path of the directory in which you want to store the log files.

Caution
To avoid overwriting log files with the same name, log files for individual servers, Kernels, and clients should be stored in directories with unique names.

- For information on redirecting Entire Net-Work Client log files, read Specifying the Client Log File Location.

Make sure that your network administrator has allowed your local machine access to the directory and server to which you are redirecting the log files. On Windows systems, you must also complete the next step to do this.

## Step 2. Configure the Entire Net-Work and Entire Net-Work Client Windows Services

On Windows systems only, you must configure the Entire Net-Work and Entire Net-Work Client services so that the local host can write to the log files on the shared server.

To update the Entire Net-Work and Entire Net-Work Client Windows services appropriately, follow these steps:

1. Edit the Windows service definition for the Directory Server and select the Log On tab.

2. On the Log On tab, select the This account radio button.

3. Enter a user account name that is known to both this host and the file server where the log files are located. This can be a domain account or a local account that is configured on both machines with the same password. The account should have full control access rights to the log file location.

4. Click the OK button.

5. Restart the service.
