Logging

The custom server is capable of generating logging information which can be used to track down problems. Use the BFIT tool to set the logging level.

This determines the detail of trace information stored in the file called BrooktroutFax.log in the directory specified in the OAM_LOG_PATH environment variable. For highest level of detail set the logging level to 'debug'. Entries in the file are generally in the form:

<date> <time> <process-id> [<function-name> <logging-level>]<log-message>

The entries represent a chronology of the actions that the custom server has taken to send, queue, or receive faxes and any errors which may have occurred.

The state tables BFAX_SEND_FAX and BFAX_RECV_FAX also generate logging information by invoking the BFAX_LOG state table. See the "Naming a Private Event Log File" section in the Blueworx Voice Response for AIX: Application Development using State Tables information for an explanation of how this logging file is named. The file is located in the directory specified in the OAM_LOG_PATH environment variable.

As supplied, the BFAX_CALL_BACK state table writes its logging output to the file called BFAX_CALL_BACK.log located in the directory specified in the OAM_LOG_PATH environment variable. The state table may be edited to change the name of the log file, if desired.
