(3) Restart the TIBCO Data Virtualization(TDV) Server.

Note: 
-> Changing the log directory path will not automatically copy existing log files to the new location. It only affects where future log files will be stored.
-> If the specified directory does not exist or the server and monitor processes lack the necessary permissions to create files in the directory, the server may encounter issues starting up.
