Name
The name of a log file consists of the component's name, a time stamp and the Windows
process ID.
The Windows process ID is needed since multiple engines of the same type could be running
at the same time, depending on the engine configuration (seeEngine configuration) and the
size of a job.
Format
The log files are text files that can be opened in any text processor. Each log file contains a
header section containing a snapshot of the current working environment (operating system,
Connect version, system locale settings, disk and RAM information, and such like).
The logging level is configurable, as well as the exact format - the "logging pattern" - of the
individual log messages.
l The Designer's logging preferences are set via the "Logging preferences" on page370.
The Designer's log messages are also displayed in the Messages pane (see "Preflight Results

shown in the Messages pane (see Log Filter). That doesn't change the actual logging level of
the Designer, however; it only filters the log file.
