Logs are written into a set of files. When the last file is completed, the new logs start overwriting the old log files. When you enable the archiving process, the set of files is converted into a ZIP file and stored as an archive on the file system.

Use this procedure to configure automatic archiving of J2EE Engine log files.

Procedure
  1. Start the J2EE Engine Visual Administrator.
  2. Choose Server/Dispatcher → Services → Log Configurator → Runtime.
  3. Choose  Archive on the toolbar.

    The Logs to archive dialog box appears.

  4. In the Archive directory field, specify the directory where you want to save the generated archive file.
  5. Use the checkboxes from the Log Destinations list to specify the log destinations you want to archive.
  6. Choose OK.

    The archive is generated to the specified directory. The name of the archive contains the exact date and time of its creation.

  7. After the archive is created, a message appears, which lists the name and the path to the archive and all log destinations the archive contains.

    Choose OK to close this message.
