Logging for SAS Information Delivery Portal

Overview of Logging for the SAS Information Delivery Portal

The SAS Intelligence Platform uses a standard logging facility to perform logging for SAS servers. Logging is managed through the Logging Service window within the SAS Management Console. For an overview and guidelines about logging, see "Administering Logging for SAS Servers" in the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.

For information about how to modify and customize options in the Logging Service Configuration, see "Modifying Service Configurations" in the SAS Foundation Services: Administrator's Guide. For a brief overview of logging as it applies to SAS Web applications, see Administering Logging for SAS Web Applications.

The logging output for the portal is stored in the SASPortal4.3.log file located at the SAS-configuration-directory\Lev1\Web\Logs directory.

To access the Logging Service Configuration window, in SAS Management Console, navigate to Plug-ins Environment Foundation Services Manager SASPortal 4.3 Local Services Core Logging Services. Right-click and select Properties to display the Logging Service Properties window.

Message logging is accomplished with a logging context. A logging context is usually the fully qualified class name of the class where the logging message originated. Logging contexts are created or edited in the Logging Service Configuration window. Every logging context can have outputs associated with it. As a result, different log messages might go to different locations. By default, all portal log messages go to both the application server console and the portal log file. In the Logging Service Configuration window, the following logging contexts are specific to the SAS Information Delivery Portal:

com.sas.portal
com.sas.webapp
