How You Direct Logging Output to a File
During a session, each process or program queries the value of II_GCA_LOG when it starts up. If this environment variable/logical is set to a file name, the program sends its trace output to the specified file in addition to sending the output to the errlog.log. If you want to see the GCC trace output for a Communications Server, set II_GCA_LOG and stop and restart the Communications Server.
After you restart the Communications Server, unset II_GCA_LOG. You can leave II_GCA_LOG set, but you receive trace output for any process that starts after it was set.
Note:  II_GCA_LOG disables DBMS server tracing in II_DBMS_LOG file, if II_DBMS_LOG was set previously.
To send the GCC information that is logged in errlog.log to another file in addition to the log file, follow this process:
1. Log in as the installation owner.
2. Set the Actian X environment variable II_GCA_LOG to a file name.
3. Stop and restart the Communications Server.
