Changing the Log File

FlexNet Manager Suite 2020 R2 (On-Premises)

You can rename or relocate the log file generated by the adapter for exports from FlexNet Manager Suite.

By default, five copies of the log file, each capped at 10MB, rotate in the nominated folder (total disk space requirement is therefore about 50MB for logging). You can customize the location and base name of the log file as follows:

To rename or relocate the log files:

1. Open the adapter's configuration file in a flat text (or XML) editor.
   Default location: C:\Program Files\Flexera\BMCAtriumAdapter\ FNMPExports\Utility\ FNMPDataExportUtility.exe.config
2. Locate the following section in the file:

       <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
         <file value="C:\Program Files\Flexera\BMC Atrium Adapter\Log.txt" />
         ...
       </appender>

3. Edit the value attribute with the new path and file name.
   Tip: Keep in mind that the file name will be expanded with dating information to differentiate the various logs.
4. Save the modified file.
