Environment

Novell Identity Manager - Remote Loader

Situation

When setting up a Remote Loader and configuring the trace file to have a max size of 2048 MB the Remote Loader should automatically divide this size into ten equal pieces of the same size (approximately 204.8 MB).  Regardless of the size of the trace the total size should be divided into tenths to facilitate trace file rotation.  When the total size is set larger than 2047 MB the rotation fails and instead the trace file grows indefinitely.

Resolution

A workaround for this is to ensure that the max size of the trace within the Remote Loader is 2047 MB or smaller.  Rotation will then work properly.

This has been resolved in IDM 4.02
