About this task

To enable error and message logging in ClearQuest core, perform the tasks appropriate for your operating system.

On Windows:

In the properties file tslogger.properties, which is located in the directory install-dir\Rational\ClearQuest\config\log\cqcore\\config\log\cqcore\, set logger.dc.logging=on (the default setting).
Perform one of the following tasks:
- Set the environment variable CQ_CORE_LOGGING to the value on.
- Set the Windows Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rational Software\ClearQuest\log\cqcore\logging to the value ON (the default setting).
