An ODA sends its messages into its log destination. The log is an external destination that is available for viewing by those needing to review the start state of the ODA. The log destination is defined at ODA configuration time by the configuration property TraceFileName as the absolute path name of an external file, which must reside on the same machine as the ODA's process.
For information on the format of the trace-file name, see Specifying a trace file.
