Using the SSSP log file

When using the Ad Hoc and Reviewer applications, the SSSP application generates a log file (sssp.log) containing all information related to the business logic. The sssp.log file is located in the following directory:
<Java_application_server_home>\logs

For example, for Apache Tomcat: <TOMCAT_HOME>\logs

The adhoc.log and reviewer.log files are found in the same directory as the sssp.log file. Since the Ad Hoc Correspondence and Correspondence Reviewer are web clients, running in a web browser, these files only contain information about errors occurring at start-up. For example, if an error occurs the first time an Ad Hoc document is loaded, you may find useful information here. For detailed information, you should always check the sssp.log file. End of tip.

Log levels

The SSSP log has four different levels for the severity of the content:

•	ERROR – Displays severe errors.

•	WARN – Displays non-fatal errors that might need investigation.

•	INFO – Displays informational messages.

•	DEBUG – Mainly for developers.

The settings can be changed in the log4j.properties file, located in the following directory:
<Portal root>\sssp\WEB-INF

For example, for Apache Tomcat:
<TOMCAT_HOME>\webapps\sssp\WEB-INF

After changing the settings, you must restart the Java application server for the changes to take effect.
