FCDS logs Changing the logging level Adding trace information FCDS logs FCDS logs activity in a plain text log file. There is one log file generated per day. These files are stored in the FirstClassDS folder. The current day's activity is written to FCDS.LOG. At midnight, this log is renamed FCDS_year_month_day_hour started.LOG and a new FCDS.LOG is generated.         Notes The log is also renamed if you stop FCDS. If FCDS is stopped at midnight for an abnormal reason, such as a power outage, this renaming will not take place. You will only find the FCDS.LOG file for that day. To save that day's logging information, rename the log manually. Top Changing the logging level To change the level of logging detail, click the level you want at "Logging level" on the Directory Monitor form in the Directory Services folder. Caution If you specified nonstandard values for information to be excluded, then choose a new logging level, you will lose the customized specifications. Top Adding trace information If you are trying to troubleshoot a problem, you may be asked to turn on trace information for specific FCDS activities. This information is added to the log file. There are two ways to turn on trace information: •       Ensure that the logging level is Debug, then select the activities you need to trace at "Components to trace" on the Directory Monitor form. or •       Start FCDS with the TRACE startup parameter.
