How do I change the "log level" of SilkCentral Test Manager"s front-end server?

ANSWER
----------------------------------

Each of the four SilkCentral servers writes its activities to a log. When application errors or system failures occur, these log files provide valuable information regarding the root causes of problems. You can customize the level of detail that is written to server log files.

Procedure to change the log level of the front-end server:

1. Open the SccFrontendBootConf.xml file with a text editor. This file is located in the /conf/FrontendServer folder of the SilkCentral directory on the front-end server.

2. Locate and edit the XML tag in the section of the file to one of the four codes provided.
