Changing the number and/or size of the log files
UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server records the actions that it takes during each interview, and any problems it encounters, in a series of log files. When a log file reaches 4Mb in size, UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server closes that file and starts a new one. When the tenth file reaches its maximum size, UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server starts overwriting the first log file in the set.
Depending on the amount of logging information you want to retain, you can increase the number of log files that UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server creates before it starts overwriting existing files, or you can increase the maximum size of each file. In general, it is better to increase the number of log files used rather than the size of each file. Log files that will be opened in DM Query should not be larger than 4Mb.
The MaxFiles and MaxFileSizeInKB keys that control logging behavior are defined in the following locations in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SPSS\DimensionNet\Log
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SPSS\DimensionNet\3\Log
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SPSS\MRPropertyManagement\2.0\Log
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SPSS\MRPropertyManagement\2.0\Security\Auditing
Note Any changes you make must be made in all locations since you cannot be sure which application will start the logging component. For consistency, they should also be made on all computers running the Interviewing and Accessories Services.
To change the maximum number of log files and/or the maximum log file size
1 From the Windows Start menu, choose Run.
2 In the Run dialog box, type regedit and click OK.
3 Step down through the hierarchy to the appropriate location.
4 In the right-hand frame, right-click on the key you want to change and choose Modify.
5 On the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, enter the new value.
