I checked the log file for my container (Tomcat) and there were no error
messages that I could see for any rollover messages. However, I guess I am
going to have to wait til next month to verify. Since my container is
Tomcat and my container gets restarted fairly often (multiple times a day
because this is a our development server), could this affect the rollover
logic?
Thank you,
Marc
