Using HPDPS Error Logs
Changing Server Error Log Attribute Values
Changing Server Error Log Attribute Values
Server error log attributes that you can modify are:
log-severity The value of this attribute
determines which of the server
messages the server error log records.
See “Available Values for the
log-severity Attribute” shortly for a
list of available log-severity
attribute values.
log-size The value of this attribute
determines the maximum size to
which a log can grow.
log-wrap The value of this attribute
determines whether a log overwrites
itself or stops logging when it reaches
the maximum size.
You can either change the attribute values of a single log temporarily
using the pdset command, or you can change the values for all spoolers
or supervisors on that system by editing a file. Changes made with the
editor will not take effect for any server until you shut down and restart
the server or until you re-boot the system.
Changing the Attribute Values of a Server Error Log
Temporarily
Use the pdset command to temporarily change the values of server error
log attributes. The changes you make in this way persist until you shut
down the server or until you change them again. When the server starts
again, the server error log attributes return to the values obtained from
the configuration file.
For example, to temporarily set the log-severity error log attribute
value to debug, use these steps, substituting the name of your server for
ServerName :
1. Disable the server error log:
pddisable -c log ServerName :default_error
