Remarks

A LogFile element contains information about an application database log file. You can define zero or more log files.

If you omit the LogFile element and its child elements, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Notification Services uses SQL Server default settings and creates a single log file that is 25 percent of the sum of the all the database's data files' sizes or 512 KB, whichever is larger.

For more information about defining log files, see CREATE DATABASE (Transact-SQL).

Example

The following example shows how to configure a log file for a Stock application.

<LogFile>
    <LogicalName>StockLog</LogicalName>
    <FileName>E:\Logs\StockLog.ldf</FileName>
    <Size>750MB</Size>
    <MaxSize>2GB</MaxSize>
    <GrowthIncrement>250MB</GrowthIncrement>
</LogFile>
