Error Log and Disk Space

Errors are automatically written to the mxtrace.log file, located by default in ENOVIA_INSTALL (Windows) or ENOVIAHOME (Unix), or in the directory defined by MX_TRACE_FILE_PATH in the enovia.ini file for the ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform Rich Clients.

When a user who is not defined as a Business or System Administrator executes a program that issues a print program select code dump command (or executes the command in MQL), an error is posted in mxtrace.log. In ENOVIA Live Collaboration Server environments this error does not occur. But since all PS Application Library programs and many custom programs use this command, the size of the mxtrace.log file may increase dramatically in a desktop environment that uses these programs regularly.

For that reason, periodic cleanup of the mxtrace.log file is recommended for both server and client machines.
