Setting logging options

You can set Surround SCM Server log options, such as the level of messages. The log file includes information about problems that occur during start up and while the server is running.

1. Choose Tools > Administration > Server Options.

The Server Options dialog box opens.

2. Select Logging from the Global Server Options category.

3. Select a Write to server database option to indicate the types of messages written to the server log file.

4. Select a Write to NT event log option to indicate the types of messages written to the server’s NT log.

5. Select a Send email notification option to indicate the types of server messages that generate email notifications.

Select No Logging if you do not want to generate email notifications.

6. Select Send email notification when logins fail to email a specific user when a login attempt fails.

7. Enter the Email send to address and Email return address. Separate multiple addresses with a semicolon.

8. Select Write all message to SCMStartup.log to write messages to the SCMStartup.log file.

The log file is generally stored in the same directory as the server executable.

9. Select Log warning if the Surround SCM Server is not started as an NT service to log a warning if the server is not started as a service.

10. Click OK to save the changes.
