About <strong>SAS</strong> Metadata Server Logging<br />
The <strong>SAS</strong> Metadata Server creates log entries that record server events, errors, and<br />
traces. These entries are directed to the destination specified by the LOG parameter on<br />
the <strong>SAS</strong> Metadata Server start command. The default location is as follows:<br />
<strong>SAS</strong>-config-dir\Lev1\<strong>SAS</strong>Main\MetadataServer\logs\MetadataServer#d#b#y.log<br />
The log entries are useful to anyone who needs to know the status of the <strong>SAS</strong><br />
Metadata Server and whether a given request was successful. The log entries also<br />
contain information that is useful for diagnosing server start-up problems, diagnosing<br />
authorization failures, and debugging method calls.<br />
Depending on which <strong>SAS</strong> Metadata Server invocation options are used, the <strong>SAS</strong><br />
Metadata Server can write seven categories of information to the <strong>SAS</strong> log:<br />
3 <strong>SAS</strong> Metadata Server start and stop information, including the invoking user ID,<br />
<strong>SAS</strong> long version number, <strong>SAS</strong> Metadata Model version, the directory where the<br />
metadata server was started, and configuration file options<br />
3 user connection and disconnection events<br />
3 repository creation/deletion, open/close, pause/resume, and refresh events<br />
3 errors, including task/thread exceptions, memory allocation errors, I/O errors,<br />
application logic errors, authentication errors, and authorization failures<br />
3 authentication events<br />
3 XML input and output strings<br />
