Sample Code/Error


Error processing diagnostic log file(s).
Log files cannot be processed: total file size is over the limit of 1Mb. To view logs, please access them directly or specify shorter date range to view.

This total log file size limit is hard-coded to 1Mb because of the performance impact it would have on the memory during the loading of larger XML files.
 
ACTION:
The following procedure describes how to change this hard-coded 1Mb limit for total log file sizes:
Note: Following best practices, save a copy of any file that requires modifications before modifying it.

  1. Go to the WEB-INF directory of your Strategy Web installation. By default, this is located in C:\Program Files\MicroStrategy\Web ASPx\WEB-INF.
  2. Open the Strategy.XML file.
  3. Change the value of the diagnosticsFileMbSizeLimit parameter (size is in Mb and the default value is 1).
  4. Restart IIS.
