How to create the equivalent of a catalina.out log in a Windows environment for SASĀ® Enterprise Case Management and SASĀ® Anti-Money Laundering


By default, the catalina.out log file is created in UNIX operating environments but not in a Microsoft Windows environment. The catalina.out log contains console output and can be helpful when you are debugging problems in SAS Enterprise Case Management or SAS Anti-Money Laundering. By following the steps below, you can create a wrapper.log file, which is similar to the catalina.out log file. The wrapper.log file that is created captures the console output from the web application server.

To create the wrapper.log file for your Windows environment, follow these steps:

    1. Back up the wrapper.conf file in this folder and then edit it:

      SAS-configuration-directory\LevN\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer8_1\conf

    2. In the wrapper.conf file, locate the following line:

      wrapper.console.loglevel=WARN

      In this line, change WARN to INFO:

      wrapper.console.loglevel=INFO

    3. Then, add the following line:

      wrapper.console.flush=TRUE

    4. Locate the following line:

      wrapper.logfile.loglevel=WARN

      In this line, change WARN to INFO:

      wrapper.logfile.loglevel=INFO

    5. Save the changes.

    6. Restart SASServer8.

After SASServer8 is restarted, you should see that a wrapper.log file is created in this folder:

SAS-configuration-directory\LevN\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer8_1\logs

Note: You can also edit the wrapper.conf file as shown in the above steps in the SASServer1 folder in order to create a wrapper.log file for SASServer1.
