CLEARLOGFILE

Determines whether the Analytic Server and application logs are overwritten.

Syntax

CLEARLOGFILE TRUE | FALSE

TRUE Overwrites the Analytic Server and application logs.
FALSE Appends to the existing logs. The default setting is FALSE.

Description

CLEARLOGFILE determines whether the Analytic Server log (essbase.log) is overwritten whenever Analytic Server is restarted and whether the application log (application_name.log) is overwritten whenever the application is restarted.

Notes

This setting affects both the application and Analytic Server logs. Analytic Services logs the error to the appropriate files automatically.

Examples

Example 1

If Analytic Services logs an application message and this setting is in effect:

CLEARLOGFILE TRUE
Analytic Services logs the message in the application_name.log file in the application directory: ARBORPATH\app\application_name, where application_name is the name of the current application. The contents of this log are replaced with new entries each time the application is started.

Example 2

If Analytic Services logs a server message and this setting is in effect:

CLEARLOGFILE FALSE
Analytic Services logs the message in the essbase.log file in the directory pointed to by ARBORPATH, appending the existing file.
