When you run Java-based SAS programs, such as SAS^® Enterprise Miner™ or SAS^® Model Manager, the bootstrap.log file is created. This log is for troubleshooting errors that occur while the SAS program is running. All standard output appends to the log. Thus, the size of bootstrap.log increases over time and can consume significant amounts of system resources.

To work around this issue, follow one of these options:

• Delete bootstrap.log regularly. The default location for bootstrap.log is C:\temp\log-name.
• Stop bootstrap.log from being generated by using the -noconsole option:

  em.exe –noconsole

• Redirect the location for bootstrap.log by using the -applogloc option:

  em.exe -applogloc "c:\temp\eminer.log"
