Enabling SOAP logging for the service gateway

If you experience an error and you cannot find the cause in the ordinary log files, you can enable SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) logging for the service gateway.

In the SOAP logs, you find information related to the web services that are hosted by the specific service gateway. All inbound and outbound data traffic between the service gateway and any clients accessing the service gateway (for example StreamStudio) is logged.

The SOAP log files are located in the working directory for the service gateway application:

<Base directory>\<Version>\root\applications\<SGW>\wd\<SOAP_RECV.log or SOAP_SENT.log>

Where:

•	<Base directory> – Is the path specified for Design Center Projects during the Framework and StreamServer installation. For example: C:\ManagementGateway

•	<SGW> – Is the name of the service gateway application specified in Control Center.

•	<SOAP_RECV.log> – Is the name of the SOAP log file for inbound traffic.

•	<SOAP_SENT.log> – Is the name of the SOAP log file for outbound traffic.

To enable SOAP logging for the service gateway

1	Open the following file:

<StreamServe installation>\Applications\Service Gateway\<Version>\bin\semper.xml

2	Uncomment the following line:

<!-- <soapdebug recvlog="SOAP_RECV.log" sentlog="SOAP_SENT.log"/> -->

3	Save and close the file.

4	In Control Center, restart the service gateway.
