To start the logging feature, copy the logging.config file from your SAS Enterprise Guide home directory (typically C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASEnterpriseGuide\7.1\) to this directory: %appdata%\SAS\EnterpriseGuide\7.1\
Note: SAS Enterprise Guide generates one log file for each SAS Enterprise Guide session. The logs reside in this directory: %appdata%\SAS\EnterpriseGuide\7.1\Logs
Finding the %APPDATA% Variable
