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.
