SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence 4.0 (BI 4.0) Trace file limitation

In SAP BI 4.0,  there is a limitation that the system only keeps latest 5 log files per SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0 service.

In order to change the number of files BusinessObjects server is going to keep before deleting old trace files  we can increase the value of keep_num variable to a higher number in BO_trace.ini. Alsoe, you can modify the entry to -1, which will not delete any logging files which are created and all the historical logs will be present in logging directory for reference.

Default location of BO_trace.ini file is mentioned below:

Windows
<Installation directory>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\conf

Eg. <C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\conf

UNIX
<Installation directory>/sap_bobj/enterprise_40/conf

Eg. /apps/sap_bobj/enterprise_40/conf
