PC client processes that use legacy logging

Most PC client processes use legacy logging. To enable the detailed legacy debug logging on Windows clients, create the directories in the following location. The directory names that you create correspond to the processes to which you want to create logs.

This directory must exist for successful operation of any of the Java programs and must have public read, write, and run permissions. user_ops contains a directory for every user that uses the Java programs.

In addition, on NetBackup Java-capable platforms, the NetBackup Java interface log files are written in a subdirectory that is called nbjlogs. All files in the user_ops directory hierarchy are removed according to the setting of the KEEP_LOGS_DAYS configuration option.
