You can also specify that messages remain in the local log file for a period of time after
they have been exported to the ODBC-compliant database. This is useful in the event of a
network failure, or any other reason that causes the database to be unavailable. In this
case, the messages remain in the local log file until the buffer time expires. If the ODBC-
compliant database becomes available during that time, the buffered messages are then
exported to the database.

Route messages

For each destination you set up, you can specify how messages are routed.

To route messages, specify:

The types of messages to log.

The audiences to send the messages to.

Whether to accept messages from Windows CE devices.

For information about who receives which types of messages, see page 10-4.
