The Logging Options screen allows you to view and edit options related to logging by the DataPA Scheduler.

Filename

The filename field allows you to specify the location of the log file the DataPA Scheduler generates when it runs a job. To change the location of the log file, select the browse button and browse to the required location.

Verbose Logging

If you are having difficulty getting a particular task to complete successfully, you can request that the scheduler writes extended details on the execution of the task to help resolve the issue by checking this check box.

Append to existing log file

If you are not emailing the log file after each task completes, it is recommended you select the Append to existing log file setting, so details of previous tasks are not removed from the log file when a new task is started.

Maximum number of lines in log file

Sets a maximum size for the log file. If this setting is 0, there is no maximum size and the log file will grow indefinitely if Append to existing log file is checked. Once the maximum size is reached, the oldest lines will be stripped from the beginning of the log file as new lines are added to the end.

Email log file upon completion
