Enable log switching

This file is in your Service Manager RUN directory.

Type the following system parameter.

System parameter Description

System parameter	Description
numberoflogfiles: n	For n, type the number of log files you want Service Manager to maintain. The minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 100. The default value is 7. If the specified number exceeds the maximum value, Service Manager uses the default value. Service Manager switches the log when the log size reaches the maximum size defined by the `maxlogsize` parameter. When this happens, the current log file is archived to the log file ending with 1, and the existing log files are renamed to the next higher number, so that the archive log file n+1 always contains older data than archive file n.
