SmartPlant Foundation client activity can be logged using the settings.xml file.
When SmartPlant Foundation client logging is enabled, the SPFServerRequestLog.csv file is created in the directory you specify. To enable the client debug log, you must update the settings.xml file in the <Installation Directory>\SPFDesktopClient folder.
In the settings.xml file, modify the debug level and dir tags as follows:
<configuration>
<debug level="1" dir=c:\Temp\SPF40Debug" />
...
</configuration>
The path specified for the dir tag is the location to which the SPFServerRequestLog.csv log file is stored.
