After changing any Logging Policy information, including the Default Logging Policy, the
appropriate Logging Clients must be reinitialized to make the changes effective. For example, if
youonly modified policies for servers which execute on host A, then only the Logging Client which
runs on host A needs to be reinitialized.
TheHPSS Logging Policies window will be displayed as shown in Figure 6-10 on page 295. For any
configured server, click on the entry for the desired server. The Logging Policy for a configured
server may also be accessed from the HPSS Servers window, and from the Basic Server
Configuration window for that server.
ALogging Policy can be created for any unique name which is typed into the Descriptive Name
field on the Logging Policy window, regardless of whether or not the name refers to any actual
server or utility.
Referto the window’s help file for more information on the individual fields and buttons as well as
the supported operations available from the window.
Oncea Logging Policy is created or updated, it will not be in effect until its associated Log Client is
startedor reinitialized. The Log Client associated with a particular policy is the one which executes
on the same host as the server to which the policy applies. The Reinitialize button on the HPSS
Servers window(Figure 6-5 on page 264) can be used to reinitialize a running Log Client.
