SAS Micro Analytic Service Logging

An optional SAS Micro Analytic Service start-up parameter specifies the location of an XML logging configuration file, which controls the logging levels and the location of the log file or files. SAS Micro Analytic Service uses the SAS 9.4 Logging Facility. For more information, see SAS 9.4 Logging: Configuration and Programming Reference. Your SAS solution might provide a default logging configuration file, and that file might include loggers or appenders in addition to those described in this chapter. For example, on UNIX the file might be /data1/SAS/config/Lev1/Web/Common/LogConfig/SASMicroAnalyticService-log4sas.xml. For more information, see your solution’s documentation.
SAS Micro Analytic Service uses two loggers named App.tk.MAS and App.tk.MAS.CodeGen. Code that is hosted by SAS Micro Analytic Service, or the functions that it calls, can use additional loggers.
The logger App.tk.MAS is used for logging all aspects of SAS Micro Analytic Service operation besides code compilation and code generation, which use App.tk.MAS.CodeGen. Normal operations, such as start-up and shutdown, are logged at the INFO level. Detailed information about such operations as compilation start and finish, and others, are logged at the DEBUG level. Warning and error conditions are logged at the WARN or ERROR levels, as appropriate. By default, App.tk.MAS is set to the INFO level.
App.tk.MAS.CodeGen is used for logging compiler-generated messages, such as compilation warnings and errors. Compiler messages can also be retrieved programmatically through the Java and REST interfaces. (See getCompilationMessages in Method Descriptions.) Your SAS solution might report compilation messages automatically. Because these messages are available programmatically, and to prevent compiler messages from cluttering the log, App.tk.MAS.CodeGen is set to the FATAL logging level by default.
