Server Maintenance
Service preparation for Gateway Client
This section describes steps that need to be taken prior to performing
maintenance procedures on the Gateway Client server.
Gateway Client
server
Follow the procedures in this section before performing maintenance
on the Gateway Client server.
Logging preparation The Gateway client regularly cycles (or rotates) log files by removing
the oldest ones from your system and creating new log files. These
log files get rotated based on the file size, which is set to 5 MB by
default and can be modified to a different size in the following
configuration file. By default the Gateway client keeps up to 5 old
files before cycling them, and this number can also be set as shown in
the following conf file:
../Gateway/ESRS/xgLogFile.xml
Run the following command
[root@185rhel62d ESRS]# more xgLogFile.xml
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<PersistedData moduleName="xgLogFile" TerseType="1">

Note: You or your system administrator may decide that other adjustments
should be made. For example, the maximum log size should be increased if
overwriting is not allowed by corporate policy.
