You can configure the location where you want to save the log files or reject files for a project. If you do not specify a location, PowerCenter saves the log files in the default location set in the PowerCenter Integration Service properties. The Data Integration Service saves the reject files in the default location set in the Data Integration Service properties.

The service stores the logs and reject files in the following default locations:

Workflow log directory:
$PMWorkflowLogDir\
Session log directory:
$PMSessionLogDir\
Reject file directory:
$PMBadFileDir\

You can configure the location where you want to save workflow logs, session logs, and reject files from the

Edit Project

dialog box. You can specify the location in an existing project. You cannot specify the location when you create the project.

You can configure workflow log properties and session log properties when you create a plan. For example, you can choose to save session logs or workflow logs by the time stamp, the number of runs, or the maximum size of the log files.

You can specify the type of error log files to generate error logs and the location to store error logs for a specific plan when you create the plan.
