How To Clear The Logfile When Application Server Is Is Running Mode

Manytimes i want to clear the log file while the application server is is running mode for analysing problem in better ways as the present log file may get more in size.

We all know we are unable to clear the file when server is in runnning mode.

But thanks to my collegue Sachin Mehta today i came to know how to do it.

Below are the simple steps

1) Open the file which you want to clear in notepad.

2) Clear the contents of the file and save it. Ignore the error message notepad gives while you are trying to save it.Generally we get error message like "Cannot Create the "name of the file" file.Make sure the path and filename are present."



Hope this information helps.
