How to set Novus Log location?

Timothy Sullivan

I have a tool that calls Novus directly. However the logs are always created in the same folder as the executable. Is there a way to change this path? The logs I am concered about have this naming scheme: MC-Prod.txt.04-08-2014 ** edit ** Answers below show Java answers, however I am looking for a .NET solution. I don't think I have control over the JVM that is created.

You can set the following JVM system property to redirect the MC* log location:

-DnovusLogPath=/log

Mitchell Van Eps

Legal Cobalt Platform Search set's this in its JVM arguments: -Dnovus.log.path=/dev/null I am not sure if you are doing this from .NET or Java but I think this system property should apply in both languages.

The system property mentioned will work. The following link describes the logging mechanism in more detail. [

Is it expected to use TRMR logging in a development tool console application? I am guessing this would mean I would need to pull in logging assemblies that deal with TRMR.

Do you know how to set this via the .NET library?
