Log Files

PARCMessage is a built-in error monitoring software. It creates an ongoing log of errors generated from PARCview on the specific computer where PARCMessage is running in the system tray. The Icon in the tray is a triangle, red if errors are present, and green if there are no errors.

Errors can also be stored in the PARCview install directory both on the server and clients ...\Capstone\PARCView\LogFiles.

Required Server Applications

No server applications are required to use System Configuration.
