Problem: Troubleshooting an issue, but it is only happening intermittently. Real-time logging is not sufficient in these instances, so you can setup logging to file instead.
Prerequisite(s):
- webNetwork 6.3.0.199 or above
- Ability to shutdown-startup webNetwork service
- Enough disk space to store file
Solution(s): Modify LAX file parameters to output console to a log file.
- Go to Server Management Console (8090 console)
- Go to Settings tab
- Go to LAX parameters
- For Standard err Path enter directory path and file (ex: C:\\temp\\error.log)
- For Standard out Path enter directory path and file (ex: C:\\temp\\out.log)
- Click Save button
- Click Shutdown button
- Startup webNetwork service again
- Verify files have been created and startup output has been recorded in out.log (Standard Err Path is not frequently used for logging)
Additional Notes:
- The '\' must be escaped with a '\\'
- Not recommended for heavy usage environments
- File can get large quickly; make sure to monitor file size and disk space
- Not recommended for daily use; ONLY for troubleshooting purposes
