Controlling the filename and frequency for creation of a new PGP log file

THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

• EFT Server Enterprise version 6.4 and later

DISCUSSION

EFT Server can log PGP operations using the registry value below

32-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\GlobalSCAPE Inc.\EFT Server 4.0

64-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GlobalSCAPE Inc.\EFT Server 4.0

Create the DWORD: PGPLogSuffixTemplate.

If the string is missing a value or zero = legacy behavior.

The registry value should contain a date-time template that is converted to the current time/date and appended to the PGP log file name (before the extension dot, or at the end of file name if there is no extension) when each PGP operation occurs.

A reg string "%Y%m%d"(no quotes) yields a new PGP log file each day with the following name: ..\ProgramData\GlobalSCAPE\EFT Server Enterprise\PGPlog20110802.txt
