Obtaining the broker log files

About this task

The broker log file can be used for debug purposes when you have an issue in your environment and brokers have been configured.

The name of the log file is TRCICB-hostname-suffix.log where hostname denotes the computer name or host name of the system hosting the broker and suffix denotes the date and time, depending on which rotation and rollover settings are being used. For more information about the log, see Logging broker activity.

The broker log files are located in the \Broker directory within the broker’s working directory.
