Trace Logs

Trace logs are generated when ADSS Server is started and are created inside the [ADSS Server Home]/logs directory. Trace logs contain information about all transactions e.g. at what time and from where a request came and when the response was sent. It also stores the steps performed by ADSS Server when generating the response. Errors are also reported inside these logs. Details of the disk spaces requirements are shown below. Note that logs sizes depend upon the amount of ADSS Server usage and whether DEBUG Mode is set to ON or OFF.  Refer to ADSS Server Logging for details of how to modify the log settings mode.
