If you want more robust logging for pool services, you can make two changes: one to the service definition and the other to the file "appstart.sas".

A Pool service definition in a broker.cfg file might look something like this:

  PoolService pool1
     ServiceDescription "Pool of SAS servers"
     ServiceAdmin "Your Name"
     ServiceAdminMail "yourname@yoursite"
     ServiceLoadManager myserv.xxx.com:5555
     SasCommand "\"full-path\\sas.exe\" +
  \"full-path\\pool1\\appstart.sas\" +
  -rsasuser -noterminal -noprint -nolog -SYSPARM "
     IdleTimeout 30
     Server myserv.xxx.com
     Port 2
  ##  Remove the following line for any servers before V8.1
  #   FullDuplex  True

The change to this service definition would be to replace the NOLOG option with the following:

  -log 'full-path\appsrv_%a_%v.log' -logparm rollover=auto

The second change involves removing these 2 lines from the "appstart.sas" file:

  allocate file logfile 'full-path\logs\%a_%p.log';
  log file=logfile;
