Archiving Logs 

Use

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.
