Locating the logging properties files

When you install HCL OneTest API, HCL OneTest API Agent, or HCL Quality Server including the HTTP/TCP proxy, several logging properties files are added to each installation's home directory.

HCL OneTest API

You can find it-logging.properties in the home installation directory of HCL OneTest API. HCL OneTest API uses this file to control logging in the following scenarios:
  • When you run tests from the HCL OneTest API GUI.
  • When you run tests by using RunTests from the command line.
  • When you start HCL OneTest API from the command line with the -console option.

HCL Quality Server and the HTTP/TCP Proxy

The proxy-logging.properties file is located at the httptcp folder under the HCL Quality Server home installation directory. This file controls the logging for the HTTP/TCP proxy. There is no console to view the logs for the proxy, but you can run the proxy from the command line if needed, and use console logging to view the log messages in the command window.

HCL OneTest API Agent

The agent-logging.properties and it-logging.properties files are located at the home installation directory of HCL OneTest API Agent. The agent-logging.properties file controls the logging for both the agent process and any engine processes it starts, and the it-logging.properties file controls the logging for tests that are run by using RunTests from the agent command line.

RQMAgent

The RQMAgent provided by HCL OneTest API uses the rqmagent-logging.properties file to control logging for tests started from Rational® Quality Manager. This file is located at the home installation directory of HCL OneTest API.
