BIRT log files [message #716268]

The Report Engine creates XML log files in its configuration\org.eclipse.update\history folder. They are small, but are added each time the engine runs. Is there a parameter to stop/delete these logs or am I not shutting down the Report Engine correctly?

Thank you , Jeff

Do you see a file called platform.xml in this directory:
configuration\org.eclipse.update?

edit it and change
transient="false"
to
transient="true"

You should be able to clear the history and it should not write anymore
to this directory. There may be a better way to handle this and you
might want to log a bug to check.

If you are using the 3.7 runtime it does not use a platform directory.
