Setting up the Server Debug Log
If you want to enable the debug log, you can do so easily by checking the ‘Enable Diagnostic Logging’ checkbox in the Server Control Program and hitting “Apply.” For further debug log customization instruction, see the below information.
In order to enable and make changes to the debug log settings, we first need to navigate to the proper registry directory:
32-bit PowerOLAP Server
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Paris\PowerOLAP\Server
64-bit PowerOLAP Server
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Paris\PowerOLAP\Server
In order to enable the debug log, right-click and choose a New DWORD (32-bit value). Name this Debug. After this, right-click and modify the value to 1. In order to begin logging you will need to stop and start the PowerOLAP Server. The default location of the log is “C:\” but you can change this as seen below.
There 3 additional modifications you can make to the debug log by creating new registry keys:

There 3 additional modifications you can make to the debug log by creating new registry keys:
- DebugLock – This will enable an advanced debugging mode that shows detailed server locking information. Unless suggested by a PARIS support technician, we do not recommend enabling this setting. To create this right-click and choose a New DWORD (32-bit value). Name this DebugLock. After this, right-click and modify the value to 1.
- DebugSize – This will allow you to modify the maximum size of the debug log before it resets. The default is 50 MB. (The default is sufficient for most environments) To create this right-click and choose a New DWORD (32-bit value). Name this DebugSize. After this, right-click and modify the value to the size you wish the maximum size of the log to be in MB (setting it to 100 would change the max size to 100 MB).
- DebugFile – This will allow you to change the default location of the debug file. To create this right-click and choose a New STRING Value. Name this DebugFile. After this, right-click and modify the value to the intended path (i.e. C:\MyDirectory\SvrDbg.log)
