SMTP reply email: Enter the email address you wish to use if patrons reply to the email, so that it does not get lost going to the SMTP email address which will likely not be received correctly by the library

Log level

Logs all normal application events when you call the web site, go back to Amlib etc. Select the Log Level from the drop-down choices, as appropriate:

Generally we recommend setting it to WARN unless there is a reason why it is necessary to capture more complex information

  1. Debug: Highest level of logging, should only be used if OCLC suggests to set it to this level
  2. Info: Information Presents information helpful in resolving the issues, but slows down the application
  3. Warn: Warning of harmful situation. This should be the default
  4. Error: Lowest level of detailing: only serious errors are logged

Nhibernate Log Level

NHibernate log level is the database access layer (all the SQL statements etc, which will result in very long complex logs if set to INFO or DEBUG, and will slow the application. The default should be WARN or ERROR. We suggest do not change this level unless OCLC Support suggests a different Level.

Generally we recommend setting it to WARN unless there is a reason why it is necessary to capture more complex information

The logs are written to a folder in the folder in inetpub\wwwroot\OCLC OpenReports\OclcLogFiles

Version Displays the Version Number and Date/Time. For example: You are currently running Version 1.0.0.0 from 13/08/2014 9:36:00 am
