The Programlog.txt file or the AntigenHRLog.txt file may grow too large in Antigen (924953)

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, modify the Max Program Log Size setting to limit the growth of these log files. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Start the Antigen Administrator program. To do this, click Start, click Run, type antigenclient.exe, and then click OK.
2. In the Antigen Administrator Program, click Settings in the Shuttle Navigator, and then click General Options.
3. Locate the Max Program Log Size value in the Logging area of the General Options Work Panel.
   
   Note By default, Max Program Log Size is set to 0.
4. Modify this value to a value that is appropriate for your environment. We recommend that you change this value to approximately 20,480. This value sets a log file growth of 20 megabytes (MB).
5. Click Save.

After you make this change, the following behavior occurs:

• The maximum size for the following log files is set to 20 MB each:
  • Programlog.txt
  • AntigenHRLog.txt
• When the Programlog.txt file reaches 20 MB, it is renamed to Programlog.bak. When the AntigenHRLog.txt file reaches 20 MB, it is renamed to AntigenHRLog.bak.
• A new file that has a .txt file name extension is created to replace the renamed log file and to continue logging.
• When the new log file reaches 20 MB, it is renamed to use a .bak file name extension. In this situation, the earlier .bak log file is removed.
