Log File Location

When the JADE Monitor starts up, the JADE initialization file on the presentation client is read. If entries are absent, the appropriate directory parameter values are derived and the parameter values are created in the JADE initialization file on the presentation client. For example, the log directory on the presentation client is established as follows.

1. If the LogDirectory parameter, which was obsolete from JADE 6.3, is located in the [JadeMonitor] section of the JADE initialization file, it is replaced by the DefaultLogDirectory parameter and its value is used.

2. If the DefaultLogDirectory parameter is located in the [JadeMonitor] section, its value is used.

3. If the LogDirectory parameter is located in the [JadeLog] section of the JADE initialization file, it is written to the DefaultLogDirectory parameter in the [JadeMonitor] section and its value is used.

4. If none of the previous steps in this instruction are performed, the home-directory/logs value is written to the DefaultLogDirectory parameter in the [JadeMonitor] section and its value is used.

   If you specify a relative directory name, the directory is assumed to be relative to the JADE HOME directory. For example, if your installation directory is Jade\bin (that is, your JADE HOME directory is Jade) and you specify DefaultLogDirectory=MonitorLogs, the full directory path is Jade\MonitorLogs.

If you are running on a presentation client in JADE thin client mode and you want to log sampling files on the application server, you must set this up when the JADE Monitor is running, by using step of the Monitor Setup activity (see step 4 of the instruction documented under "Setting Up the JADE Monitor", later in this chapter) or by loading a directives file (see "Loading Directives", in Chapter 2).
