Log files discovery

At this moment I’m trying to get all my DCTM log files point to one directory.
This is what I found yet:

1. Application Server logs (tomcat)
%Tomcat X.X\conf\logging.properties

2. Application log4j logs (for DCTM clients; webtop, da)
%Tomcat X.X\webapps\<WEB_APP>\WEB-INF\classes\log4j.properties

3. Java Method Server log
%Documentum\UserDir\jboss4.2.0\server\DctmServer_MethodServer\conf\ jboss-log4j.xml

4. Application log4j logs (for Java Methods Servers apps; acs; bocs; bpm; dfs; ServerApps)
%Documentum\UserDir\jboss4.2.0\server\DctmServer_MethodServer\deploy\<WEB_APP>\APP-INF\classes\log4j.properties

5. Repository logs
Change the system_file_path of the dm_location object "log"

6. DCTM Repository log
Edit the repository service from Document Server Manager tool: -logfile %Documentum\CS\dba\log\HELLO_WORLD.log

7. DCTM Connection Broker log
Edit the repository service from Document Server Manager tool: -logfile %Documentum\CS\dba\log\Docbroker.Docbroker.log

I miss one log file i can't figure out where to configure it.
It's the dmbasic method server log: E:\Documentum\CS\dba\log\<ID>\MethodServer
This is saved in the same directory as the Repository logs configured in the dm_location object "log"

Anyone an idea where to configure the dmbasic MethodServer log that also starts the mthdsvr.exe processes?
And are there other log files to discover?

The dmbasic method server log can not be changed at the moment, there are Enhancement Requests registered for this issue. (CS-3443, 170866)

On a Unix machine I recently reconfigured all locations and created a link for the methodserver directory to my new location to get around it.

Even if it is possible to do such a thing, i would strongly discourage it. Every seasoned DCTM admin who is not familiar with your structure will go mad if he/she can't find the log files at their standard locations. It will make finding problems much more harder.

If you realy want to do something like this you could link all log files in a directory. but I would never move them away from their location.

It all depends on the customers requirements and standards. If there is no dedicated dctm admin in place it even makes more sense to stick with the convention to put all log files to a specialised folder (even to a separate mount, as the logfiles tend to grow to GBs) to be monitored instead of spreading it all over the system. This way a standard sysadmin knows exactly where to look for problems as it is the same for all applications either documentum or not.
