Unable to create log file back ups on AIX

[Siddiq Hussain]

Hello,

I am using log4j in my application as logging mechanism.It is working fine on Windows.The problem is only when the application is in production environment where it has to run on AIX operating system.It is not able to create backups once the log file size is equal to size specified in configuration file.

<appender name="code1" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="Threshold" value="info" />
<param name="File" value="Code1.log" />
<param name="Append" value="true" />
<param name="MaxFileSize" value="1000KB" />
<param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="15" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss} %-5p - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>


Once the size of Code1.log reaches 1000kb ,new file should be created.It is working fine on Windows but on AIX it is not creating new file named Code1.log.1, instead logging into the same log file ie Code1.log even though size of the log file has reached maxmimum limit.

Any one can please suggest any ideas.

Thanks in advance,
Siddiq.
