(As the SAS install user) In your workspace server config directory, rename logconfig.xml to logconfig.xml.bak, and copy logconfig.trace.xml to logconfig.xml. In logconfig.xml, change the fileNamePattern to something that suits you; in our case, the log files are written to a directory owned by root where a user has only write/execute (not read) permissions via her group; this means that the user can create and write the log, but can't find it so she cannot remove/alter it. Log files have date and process number in the file name to make them unique. Also in logconfig.xml, change the level for the IOM protocol message logger from Error to Info. No changes to sasv9_usermods.cfg are needed, unless you want to change the name/location for the logconfig.xml file (not recommeded) Restart the Object Spawner (don't know if necessary, but won't hurt) If you want to retrace which user made a certain change, you still will have to dig through all the logs of the given day, but at least now you have the logs. The default configuration saves nothing of import. Be aware that with this configuration, the log directory may grow quite quickly, so make sure that logs are archived regularly or users may exceed their quotas.
