display of messages and delete them.
„
Open the log files in a text editor. The files are located in the \log folder in
\Avalin\jboss\server\avalin.
To filter the messages that get included in the log files located the \log folder, locate the
\conf\log4j.xml file. Edit the log4j.xml file in a text editor. For information about working with a
log4j file (version 1.2), see the following Web site: logging.apache.org/log4j.
Purging the Log Entries
Old log entries should be purged periodically to prevent the Kofax Front-Office Server database
from growing too large and affecting performance. By default, log entries are purged after they
remain in the log for 10 days. You can specify a threshold for removing entries (such as removing
entries older than three days), or you can disable the automatic purge.
X To purge log entries or disable purging
1 In the \conf folder, locate the log_purge.properties file and open it in a text editor.

instructions.
3 Save the file.
