The Error Log File
The error log lists all the errors the server has encountered since the log file was
created. It also contains informational messages about the server, such as when the
server was started and who tried unsuccessfully to log in to the server.

1.
Access the Administration Server and choose the Preferences tab.
2.
Click the View Error Log link and click OK.
For more information, see The View Access Log Page in the online help, and
Chapter 9, “Using Log Files.”
Archiving Log Files
You can set up your log files to be automatically archived. At a certain time, or after
a specified interval, Enterprise Server rotates your access logs. Enterprise Server
saves the old log files and stamps the saved file with a name that includes the date
and time they were saved.
For example, you can set up your files to rotate every hour, and Enterprise Server
saves and names the file “
access.199907152400
,” where
“name|year|month|day|24-hour time” is concatenated together into a single
character string. The exact format of the access log archive file varies depending
upon which type of log rotation you set up.
Access log rotation is initialized at server startup. If rotation is turned on,
Enterprise Server creates a time-stamped access log file and rotation starts at server
startup.
