DevOps Code ClearCase® network planning and administration
Server logs
Each DevOps Code ClearCase® server process maintains a log on the host where it runs. Because an error returned by a command entered on the local host can generate a log entry on a remote host, DevOps Code ClearCase provides two remote log retrieval tools: the cleartool getlog command and the Server Logs node of the DevOps Code ClearCase Administration Console.
Logging on Windows®
On Windows®, DevOps Code ClearCase® programs write informational, warning, and error messages to the Windows application event log.

Logging on Windows

On Windows®, DevOps Code ClearCase® programs write informational, warning, and error messages to the Windows application event log.

The source of these messages is displayed by the Windows event viewer as DevOps Code ClearCase. A typical event log entry includes the date and time of the error, the software module in which the error occurred, the current user, and an error-specific message.

MVFS logs

On a host where the MVFS is installed, the MVFS logs error and status messages to the file C:\mvfslogs. To change this pathname, you can use the MVFS page in the ClearCase program in Control Panel. By default, the DevOps Code ClearCase scheduler periodically runs a job that deletes MVFS log files that are older than seven days. For information about describing and changing scheduled jobs, see the schedule reference page.
