You can add wildcard characters to a log file name if you want to change the name to suit your needs. Wildcard characters must be delimited by the less than (<) and greater than (>) characters. For example, the log file name template WMS_<a><B><Y>.log might correspond to the log file name WMS_MonApril2000.log.
The following table lists and describes the wildcard characters.
