The product log file is alm.log. Logging is done through the common Tomcat Web server using the Apache log4j Java-based logging utility.
The alm.log file contains status messages returned to the AFS server. The level of messaging depends on the settings in the log4j settings. Debugging and append are on by default.
You can view the log contents using the Serena ALM Configurator or using any text editor.
The default location of the alm.log file is the catalina home directory, set by the variable ${catalina.home}. For example:
..\Program Files\Serena\common\tomcat\6.0
To change the location of the log file:
Navigate to the common Tomcat Web server classes folder. For example:
..\Program Files\Serena\common\tomcat\6.0\webapps\alm\WEB-INF\classes
Open the log4j.properties file.
Change the following line to specify the location for the file.
log4j.appender.alm.file=<drive:path>\alm.log
