Answer:

Please check the following if CABI trace loggings turned on.

1) Servers setting on Central Management Console

2. Log into it using a BOXI administrator account and click "Servers" under Organize category. 
3. Double clock on each server and open its properties screen. 
4. In Command Line Parameters field, check if "-trace" parameter has been added. If yes, delete it and click <Save & Close> button. 
5. NOTE: For AdaptiveProcessingServer, check if the Log Level is set to "AUTO" under Logging category in the properties screen. If not, set it to "AUTO" and save the change. 
6. Back to the screen displayed on the step 1-3).
   Right click on the server you change the setting and select [Restart Server] to restart the server.
7. Continue 1)-4 and 1)-5 for all servers listed on the servers screen. 

 

2) Configuration file (*.ini) for each server (server process) 

1. Locate the following *.ini file under (BOXI installation folder)\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 folder.
   
   AAAnalytics_trace.ini
   AADashboard_trace.ini
   AADMining_trace.ini
   AAMetrics_trace.ini
   AAProfiler_trace.ini
   AAQueryMgr_trace.ini
   AARepoMgt_trace.ini
   AARules_trace.ini
   AASPC_trace.ini
   JobServer_trace.ini
   CMS_trace.ini
   ConnectionServer_trace.ini
   EventServer_trace.ini
   JobServerChild_trace.ini
   JobServer_trace.ini
   WIReportServer_trace.ini
   busobj_trace.ini
   crcache_trace.ini

2. If there is, open the *.ini file by editor. You would be able to see the following text.
   
   e.g.
   
   active = true;
   importance = xs;
   alert = true;
   severity = ' ';
   keep = true;
   size = 100 * 1000;
   //log_dir="/var/logs"; Any other folder you might want, default: bobje/logging
   
   
3. Change "active = true;" to "active = false; " to disable the trace.

   NOTE: You do not have to restart the BOXI server.
