SAS Logging Facility Process

To use the SAS logging facility, do the following:

Define a logging configuration file, which configures appenders and loggers. You can define the configuration in an XML file, or by using SAS language elements. If you perform a planned installation, then logging configuration files are provided for your SAS servers.
Specify the LOGCONFIGLOC= system option to enable logging if you are using configuration files. The LOGCONFIGLOC= system option does not have to be specified for the logging facility to operate in SAS programs. If you perform a planned installation, then the LOGCONFIGLOC= system option is included in the configuration files for your SAS servers.
Issue log events in a format that can be processed by the SAS logging facility if you are developing your own SAS programs.
