Setting SafeLinx Administrator console output

You can direct trace and messaging log information to the console, and then manage the console output.

After SafeLinx Administrator trace and messaging log information is directed to a file, you can also direct trace and message log information to the console. For more information, see Set SafeLinx Administrator trace options and Set SafeLinx Administrator message log options.

To direct SafeLinx Administrator message logs to the console, click Options > SafeLinx Administrator Console Output..., then select the level of messages that you want logged.

To direct SafeLinx Administrator trace information to the console, clickOptions > SafeLinx Administrator Console Output..., then select Trace information. The SafeLinx Administrator subsystems to be traced are selected by setting SafeLinx Administrator trace options.

To stop SafeLinx Administrator trace and message logging from displaying to the console, click Options > SafeLinx Administrator Console Output, then clear all the check boxes.

For SafeLinx Administrator running on Windows, the console is not started by default. To start the DOS console when SafeLinx Administrator starts, you must modify the wgcfg.bat file in the SafeLinx Administrator installation directory (by default, C:\Program Files\ HCL\SafeLinx Administrator\wgcfg.bat for stand-alone SafeLinx Administrator install or C:\Program Files\HCL\SafeLinx Server\SafeLinx Administrator\wgcfg.bat when installed with the SafeLinx Server).

The wgcfg.bat file is used to control initial settings. By default, the file looks like this:

start /B runtime\bin\javaw -classpath lib\wgcfg.jar;.;lib\images.jar;lib\jh.jar;lib\icu4j_3_4.jar com.hcl.administrator.gui.main %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6
Note: All of this text must be kept on one line.
Note: The string start /B runtime\bin\javaw at the beginning of the line causes SafeLinx Administrator to start without launching the DOS console. To enable the DOS console, modify the existing string to the following string: start runtime\bin\java

SafeLinx Administrator will then start with a DOS console, and the logging and trace information that is specified in the SafeLinx Administrator Console Output Options dialog will be displayed there.
