Overview

This sample shows you how to modify SAS Web Report Studio 3.1 logging in order to extract specific data (in this case, {DATE} and {ISO8601}) and make logging information easier to read. Modifications are made in the DefaultLoggerProperties.xml.orig, which is located in the config folder of the SAS Web Report Studio installation directory.

Click the Full Code tab in this sample for details. Click the Output tab in this sample to see results.

General procedure for modifying logging properties

1. Make a backup copy of DefaultLoggerProperties.xml.orig. (Subsequent installation or upgrade activity can overwrite this file.)
2. In the <Output> block, modify the layoutPattern attribute. Instructions are contained in the comments located above the <Output> block.
3. Redeploy SAS Web Report Studio.

Note: If you plan to use SAS^® Web Report Viewer to view reports, you can make similar changes to the DefaultWRVLoggerProperties.xml.orig file.
