Procedure

...

       1.      To define the settings for add-on log files, from the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose Administration  ® Add-Ons  ® SAP Add-On Log Settings.

This menu option is only available when an SAP Business One add-on has been started.

The SAP Add-On Log Settings window appears.

       2.      In the Severity Level of Log Messages to Record field, click  to select from the following:

¡        Error. The system only logs error messages. This is the default settings.

¡        Warning. Both errors and warnings are logged.

¡        Information. Errors, warnings, and information messages are logged.

¡        Debug. Errors, warnings, information and debug messages are logged.

The severity levels are also numbered from 1 to 6. The higher the number, the more information is included in the log file.

       3.      In the Maximum Number of Log Files to Maintain field, enter the number of log files to be created.

The default value is 2.

       4.      In the Maximum Size Per Log File field, enter a log file size.

The default value is 1 Megabyte. When the size of a log file exceeds the value in this field, the system creates a new log file. These files remain as a log history until the number of files exceeds the value you defined in Step 3. Then the system overwrites previous files.

       5.      To save your settings, choose OK.
