CLEARLOGFILE

Parameters

CLEARLOGFILE determines whether Hyperion Essbase overwrites log files.

Syntax

CLEARLOGFILE TRUE | FALSE

TRUE	Overwrites the application and server log files.
FALSE	Appends to the existing log files. The default setting is FALSE.

Description

CLEARLOGFILE determines whether Hyperion Essbase overwrites the log files whenever Hyperion Essbase logs a message. This setting affects both the application log file, application_name.LOG, and the server log file, ESSBASE.LOG.

Example

If Hyperion Essbase logs an application message and this setting is in effect:

CLEARLOGFILE TRUE

Hyperion Essbase logs the message in the application_name.LOG file in the application directory: ARBORPATH\APP\application_name, where application_name is the name of the current application. Hyperion Essbase replaces the contents of this log with the new entry the next time the application is started.

If Hyperion Essbase logs a server message and this setting is in effect:

CLEARLOGFILE FALSE

Hyperion Essbase logs the message in the ESSBASE.LOG file in the directory pointed to by ARBORPATH, appending the existing file.

Notes

• This setting affects both the application and server logs. Hyperion Essbase logs the error to the appropriate file automatically.
