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

Karla Marsh
EFT

THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

  • EFT Server Enterprise version 6.4 and later
  • EFT v8 and later uses the ..\ProgramData\Globalscape\EFT Server\AdvancedProperties.json file instead of the registry. Refer to the AdvancedProperties topic in your version of EFT for details.

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 String: 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

For additional template modifiers, refer to the Microsoft MSDN website: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fe06s4ak%28VS.80%29.aspx
