BPWin Log File Limits

BPWin Log File Limits

As a default, BPWin sets a 1024MB log file directory limit and a 10MB per log file limit, but it is possible to change these values if you wish. 

To do this, keys must be changed in Windows Registry.
Please take care when editing the registry as it can cause Windows or BPWin to become unstable or unusable if the wrong settings are changed.
The registry can be exported prior to making any changes, simply by highlighting the Computer icon in the left pane, then selecting Export, via the File menu item.

If in doubt, consult your IT department or contact you local Adaptsys support engineer for further assistance.

Once you have backed up registry editor is open, the key location varies depending on 32bit or 64 bit OS.
For 32 bit: Expand, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then BP Microsystems, then click on the BPWin folder.
in the right panel, you should see LogDirectoryLimitMB and LogFileLimitMB.

For 64 bit: Expand, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then Wow6432Node, then BP Microsystems and then click on the BPWin folder, the same as for 32 bit.

The first key sets the maximum file size for the directory, whilst the other sets the limit for the actual log file.

Once changes have been made, you can close Windows Registry Editor.
Changes should be immediate, but in some cases, BPWin should be closed and restarted for them to take effect.
