Extended logging for NuGenesis 9 Data Adapter Release 4, Empower Remote Data Adapter enabled by default - WKB117637

SYMPTOMS

• Two log files on Empower Remote Data Adapter Server in C:\logs can grow extremely large in size due to activity of the Empower Remote Data Adapter: 
  
  C:\logs\traces.svclog
  C:\logs\TraceDM.svclog

ENVIRONMENT

• NuGenesis 9 SDMS
• NuGenesis 9 Data Adapters Release 4

CAUSE

Extended logging was accidentally left enabled by default.

FIX or WORKAROUND

1. Remove the entire <system.diagnostics> section from the following two config files to stop it writing to the log files (make a backup of the file before editing it.):
   • Drive:\Program Files (x86)\Waters\NGSDMS\EVS\Waters.SDMS.WindowsService.exe.config
   • Drive:\Program Files (x86)\Waters\NGSDMS\EVS\Waters.SDMS.WindowsServiceDM.exe.config
2. Restart the Waters DataExchange services after editing and saving the config files.
