Question

[solutions] - How to manage MethodServer.log

I create a new log every time the method server is started. A new
folder for each day and a new file with a timestamped name.log for each
time it stops/restarts during the day. This is done via a line(s) in
the wt.properties file. I will share if it is the solution you choose.

    Yeah that's right. I stop/restart the methodserver just after midnight
    each day and keep the verbosity settings off unless I'm troubleshooting.

    We are running 1 methodserver and 1 BG methodserver. My daily files
    for all the methodserver logs is usually less than 3MB when everything
    is working right so I haven't seen the large file issue on a normal
    basis but I understand what you are saying.
    BTW. We are running 626 DSU 04 since 2003 and have about 3.5k to 4k
    change objects in process at any one time.
    We are now in process of going to PDMLink9.x

    Here is the wt.properties file setting that I use. Please test before
    using.
    $DATE creates a folder each new day. Today's folder name is:
    MethodServer.08-3-31
    A log name might be 2.53-52.log for a log created at 2:53:52 am.
    Hope this helps.

    Comment out the existing wt.method.log.file setting and add.

    #wt.method.log.file=$(wt.logs.dir)\\MethodServer.log
    wt.method.log.file=$(wt.logs.dir)\\MethodServer.$DATE(yy-M-dd/h-m-ss).lo
    g <file: \\methodserver.$date(yy-m-dd\h-m-ss).log=">
