Masked Resource Aliases in Audit and Debug Log Files

Encrypted Resource Registry resource aliases are now masked when displayed in

logs and trace files. The behavior has been changed so that when a resource alias

is defined as "encrypted" in the Resource Registry, its value appears as masked

(with asterisks) anywhere it is referenced in an audit log or debug file:

♦ Audit Log

! Execution summary

! Map settings

! Data (card) settings

♦ Launcher Log (Launcher.txt)

! Map errors

! Map warnings

! System configuration information

♦ Compound****.log (mercntsv.log/iodebug.log)

♦ General protection fault (GPF)/abort logs

Resource Registry Trace File

You can now create a Resource Registry trace file by setting the environment

variable MERC_LOG_RES_ALIAS to a valid path and file name. For example:

MERC_LOG_RES_ALIAS=

c:\Mercator6.7\resreg.log

This trace file logs encrypted aliases and displays them as masked values.

You can also create a trace file that logs decrypted aliases by setting the

environment variable MERC_LOG_RES_ALIAS_DECRYPT to a valid path and file

name.
