IBM Confidentiallogfilename variable can include a fully-qualified path. However, if no pathis specified, the log file is written to the Data Protection for Exchangeinstallation directory.If the logfilename variable includes spaces, the entire /logfile parameterentry must be placed in double quotes. For example:/LOGFile="c:\Program Files\mytdpexchange.log"If the /logfile parameter is not specified, log records are written to thedefault log file, tdpexc.log.The /logfile parameter cannot be turned off. You always get logging.When using multiple simultaneous instances of Data Protection forExchange to perform operations, use the /logfile parameter to specify adifferent log file for each instance used. This directs logging for eachinstance to a different log file and prevents interspersed log file records.Failure to specify a different log file for each instance can result inunreadable log files./LOGPrune=numdays|NoUse the /logprune parameter to disable log pruning or to explicitly requesta prune of the log for one command run. By default, log pruning isenabled and performed once per day. The numdays variable represents thenumber of days to save log entries. By default, 60 days of log entries aresaved in the prune process. You can use the Data Protection for ExchangeGUI or the set command to change the defaults so that log pruning isdisabled, or so that more or less days of log entries are saved. Thecommand line user may use the /logprune parameter to override thesedefaults for one command run. Note that when the value of the /logprunevariable numdays is a number in the range 0 to 9999, a prune is performedeven if one has already been performed for the day.Changes to the value of the timeformat or dateformat parameter can resultin an undesired pruning of the Data Protection for Exchange log file. If youare running a command that may prune the log file and the value of thetimeformat or dateformat parameter has changed, perform one of thefollowing to prevent undesired pruning of the log file:v Make a copy of the existing log file.v Specify a new log file with the /logfile parameter or logfile setting.Query TDP ExampleThis output example provides a sample of the text, messages, and process statusthat displays when using the query TDP command.The tdpexcc query tdp command queries the values set in the Data Protection forExchange configuration file. An example of the output in a Legacy configuration isdisplayed below.IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail:Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange ServerVersion 5, Release 5, Level 5.0(C) Copyright IBM Corporation 1998, 2007.
