TransSECS can be set to log at different levels for the SECS/GEM messages. By default the logger is a file called “SECSMessages.log” which rolls over after a size limit is exceeded.

There are three levels of SECS/GEM message logging: INFO, WARN, and DEBUG. In the log4j.xml file for TransSECS you will see a logger called “com.ergotech.
