Controlling logging by using the log file derby.infolog.appendderby.drda.logConnections derby.logand the Network Server

The Network Server uses the derby.log file to log problems that it encounters. It also logs connections when the property derby.drda.logConnections is set to true. The derby.log file is created when the server is started. The Network Server then records the time and version. If a log file exists, it is overwritten, unless the property derby.infolog.append is set to true.

When the Network Server is logging connections, it also logs the Connection Number; this log message is written both to the derby.log file and to the Network Server console.

 To turn on connection logging, you can use the servlet interface or you can issue the following command:java org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl logconnections on [-h <hostname>] [-p <portnumber>] To turn connection logging off you can use the servlet interface or you can issue the following command:java org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl logconnections off [-h <hostname>][-p <portnumber>] See the for more information about the derby.log file.
