Windows Event Log

ConnectMCAL

By default, the ConnectMCAL component writes error log messages into the Windows Event Log, but by using the following configuration key, logging of errors or warnings can be activated:

[Logger]
WinEventLogSource=ConnectMCAL (Siebel)

[Dynamic]
WinEventLogLevel=3
key renamed

NTEventLogLevel has been renamed to WinEventLogLevel

KeyIni-DefaultRangeDescription
WinEventLogLevel20,2,3,4Write errors, warnings or info to Windows Event Log
0=off
2=Error
3=Warning
4=Info
change without service restart

If WinEventLogLevel was 0 when startup, so logging was set to off, the service needs to be cycled. If logging was enabled when starting the service changes have effect without restart.

In order to render and display the log entries properly, the bsLogLibraryEvents.dll is required. This dll is installed and configured during the installation process.

If the configuration or DLL is missing, the following output is shown in the Windows Event Log:

To fix this, the key below has to be set in the registry:

"EventMessageFile"="C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\bsLogLibraryEvents.dll"

Also check that the bsLogLibraryEvents.dll exists in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ directory.
