ACTIVATE LOG

Use the ACTIVATE LOG command to start recording log data to a file. Log data is always collected in memory. If the log is activated, whenever the log buffer is full, the buffer is written to a file. The default location for this file is the /tmp directory. This location can be overridden as described in Planning the domain setup. You must ensure that there is sufficient space in the active location.

The data is written until the log is deactivated or the Provisioning Manager terminates. See DEACTIVATE LOG. When the Provisioning Manager is started for the first time, all logs are in their default state. The default state for the error log is activated. For all other logs, it is deactivated.
