Solution
To enable debug logging for Symantec AntiVirus/Filtering for Domino on the Lotus Domino console, add the following switches to the Lotus Notes.ini file. Insert the switches at any point in the Notes.ini file. See the following tables for the switch name, acceptable values, and an explanation of each switch.

| SAVTraceDest |

Specifies the size of logs, where "x" is the maximum size of combined smshook0.log and smshook1.log in MegaBytes. Maximum value: 2000 MB Example: If a maximum size of 100 MB is desired for each log file, then the value to enter for SAVTraceDestSize will be 200. Note: This switch is not available for Symantec AntiVirus/Filtering 3.0x for Domino on UNIX |
These messages do not appear on a remote console. To view them, review the Domino console on the server.
The following is an example of switches added to the Notes.ini file that provide maximum trace output (Version 5.x, 7.x, 8.x, and 3.2.x). For example:
SAVTrace=10
SAVTraceDest=3
SAVTraceDestSize=50
SAVTraceDetach=1
SAVTraceHook=10
SAVTraceHookDestSize=50
Note: Do not edit the Notes.ini file while the Domino server is running.
The following is an example of switches that, when inserted into the Notes.ini, provide maximum output (Unsupported Versions 3.0.x and 3.1.x):
SAVDebug=5
SAVDebugDest=3
SAVDebugDestSize=10
SAVDebugDetach=1
SAVDebugHook=2
SAVDebugHookDestSize=10
Note: Do not edit the Notes.ini file while the Domino server is running.
