How can I stop or start logging of Notes client messages?

WELCOME TO IBM LOTUS NOTES

How can I stop or start logging of Notes client messages?
If logging is enabled and your Notes client crashes, an automatic diagnostic collection tool collects data that includes this logging file and sends it to a mail-in application when the client restarts. You can turn this on or off.

To stop or start logging of your client messages

About this task

Your Domino administrator designates the default setting for whether IBMLotus Notes logging is enabled (whether or not Notes writes operational messages and errors to a text file on your system). Besides its being sent to a mail-in application to help IBM diagnose crashes, the logging file is useful for diagnosing non-crash conditions that may arise.

Procedure

1. Click File -> Preferences -> User Preferences.

Macintosh OS X users:

Click

Lotus Notes

Preferences

2. Click Log and Trace.

3. Do one of the following:

To stop logging for this client session, deselect Enable logging.
To start logging for this client session, select Enable logging.

Results

Note: Your administrator controls the following settings:

Whether logging is enabled by default -- the logging setting will revert to the default whenever you restart Notes.
Whether the automatic diagnostic collection tool is invisible to you, or whether you are prompted to choose whether you want to view or send the diagnostic report after a crash.
