Properties for Logging System

 

This dialog is used to configure the logging system. It is accessed from the Edit Logging System dialog.

 

Active

Check this option to enable the logging system. When the logging system is enabled, GemStone records log entries for the operations that it performs. It is most often used to trouble-shoot a problem, but it can also provide a record of user interactions with the program.

Log File

This read-only field shows the full path name for the logging file. This is useful if you need to send the log file to Verity Software House for technical support.

Logging Level

This field determines how much detail the log contains. With Basic, the system stores log entries for most user actions. Detailed stores additional lines, and Comprehensive store entries for many low-level functions in the program. Normally, Basic is an appropriate level. Technical Support may instruct you to use another level to help trouble-shoot a problem.

Maximum Log Size

This field displays the maximum for the log file before a new log file is created.

Full Error report

If the program crashes, it normally creates a basic error report to help trouble shoot the crash.  Enable this option to create a comprehensive error report with more information in the event of a crash.
