To use the SAS logging facility, do the following:
-
Define a logging configuration file,
which configures appenders and loggers. You can define the configuration
in an XML file, or by using SAS language elements. If you perform
a planned installation, then logging configuration files are provided
for your SAS servers.
-
Specify the LOGCONFIGLOC=
system option to enable logging if you are using configuration files.
The LOGCONFIGLOC= system option does not have to be specified for
the logging facility to operate in SAS programs. If you perform a
planned installation, then the LOGCONFIGLOC= system option is included
in the configuration files for your SAS servers.
-
Issue log events in a format that
can be processed by the SAS logging facility if you are developing
your own SAS programs.
