The system can capture various categories of message logging and activity tracing for specified users or for all users. For more information, see the Planning and Consolidation Operations Guide.
You can create log files for troubleshooting purposes. By default, Planning and Consolidation log files are stored in <drive>/logging/log, but you can specify a different location.
