5. To customize log file names, change the output log_filename_pattern parameter. The entry
resembles:
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = <log_filename_pattern>
The <log_filename_pattern> should contain the path. For example:
../logs/scr-messages-rh-%g.log
The %g entry is described in the following list of special substitution variables that can be used to aid in
automatically generating distinct filenames:
"/" - local pathname separator
n
"%t" - system temporary directory
n
"%h" - value of the "user.home" system property
n
"%g" - generated number to distinguish rotated logs
n
"%u" - unique number to resolve conflicts
n
"%%" - translates to a single percent sign "%"
n
6. Change the handlers=<handler_name> property to choose where the log stream will be written.
Valid values are:
java.util.logging.FileHandler (log file)
n
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler (stderr)
n
7. Change java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit=<bytes> to increase or decrease the number
of bytes written to the log files before they will rotate.
8. Change java.util.logging.FileHandler.count=<log_file_count> to specify the maximum
number of log files to be kept before overwriting the oldest.
9. Set the java.util.logging.FileHandler.append = true. When set to true, the SCR Tool will
attempt to append the last used log file. When set to false, the SCR Tool will roll over to a new log file
for writing.
