When you open a connector configuration file or a connector definition
file, Connector Configurator uses the logging and tracing values of that file
as default values. You can change those values in Connector
Configurator.
To change the logging and tracing values:
- Click the Trace/Log Files tab.
- For either logging or tracing, you can choose to write messages to one or
both of the following:
- To console (STDOUT):
Writes logging or tracing messages to the STDOUT display.
- Note:
- You can only use the STDOUT option from the Trace/Log Files tab
for connectors running on the Windows platform.
- To File:
Writes logging or tracing messages to a file that you specify. To
specify the file, click the directory button (ellipsis), navigate to the
preferred location, provide a file name, and click Save.
Logging or tracing message are written to the file and location that you
specify.
- Note:
- Both logging and tracing files are simple text files. You can use the
file extension that you prefer when you set their file names. For
tracing files, however, it is advisable to use the extension
.trace rather than .trc, to avoid
confusion with other files that might reside on the system. For logging
files, .log and .txt are typical file
extensions.
