Tomcat log files moved to work directory
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.2
For Tomcat application server users, the default path for PRPC logs has been changed to the "work" directory for Catalina. For example:
<tomcat>\work\Catalina\localhost\prweb
This directory can be cleaned up during administration. To avoid loss of files, you can redirect logging to a different directory after installation:
- Navigate to the <tomcat-home>\webapps\prweb\WEB-INF\classes directory.
- Open the prlogging.xml file.
- Locate the "appender" definitions section that contains the "@{web.tmpdir}" string
- Update the FileNamePattern values to point to the new directory.
For more details, refer to the “Change the default path to PRPC logs” section in the Tomcat installation guide for your database.
