Setting preferences for the Server Logs view

By default, the Server Logs view is used to display server console records rather than the Console view. Whenever a server is started from the Servers view or from the integration test client, the contents of the server console are automatically opened in a new tab in the Server Logs view and the tab is automatically selected and displayed. However, you can set preferences to control these behaviors.

To set preferences for the Server Logs view:


Procedure

  1. From the Window menu, select Preferences. The Preferences window opens.
  2. Expand Business Integration and select Server Logs. The Server Logs preferences page opens.

    • If you want server console records to be automatically opened in a new tab in the Server Logs view whenever a server is started, ensure that the Use the Server Logs view to display server console output check box is selected. (If that selecting this check box will not automatically cause the new tab in the Server Logs view to be automatically selected and displayed whenever a server is started.
