Description:
============
There are a number of files created by different components of the TIBCO iProcess Engine (iPE) within the SWDIR\logs directory, where SWDIR is the installation directory of the TIBCO iPE.

Some of the files can be configured to be archived automatically but the majority have to be archived manually.

Environment:
==========
   o All supported platforms.

=========
TIBCO do not have any specific best practice documentation on rotating/clearing logs files. This is really environment specific and would need to take a number of factors into account such as available disk space, number of logs being created and at what rate the logs are increasing in size, for example.

The majority of the logs require manual archiving and as a general recommendation TIBCO would suggest these are archived when the particular application is not running. They should be archived on a regular basis to ensure they do not grow too large and become unmanageable to review. The number of archives kept depends on how long the information relating to the system needs to be available.

The sw_error and sw_warn can be copied while the TIBCO iProcess Engine is running and deleted once the copy has completed. They will be recreated by the TIBCO iProcess Engine if required.

The TIBCO iProcess Objects Server Administration Guide has a section, Disk Log Parameters, that describes the parameters that can be set to archive the iProcess Objects Server log when it reaches a specific size. It also describes creating a number of archives depending on the requirement.
