Procedure

1. In the logappender_data.xml, specify the type of the appender in the xsi:type attribute.

   File Log Appender

   <LogAppender
    xsi:type="amxdata:FileLogAppender"
    name="HelloWorldFileAppender"
    description="This is File LogAppender"
    filePath="C:/amx-3admin/tibco/cfgmgmt/tibcohost/Admin-amxadmin-instanceOne/
    nodes/DevNode/logs/HelloWorld.log"
    maxSize="10000" maxBackupNum="5"/>

2. In the logappender_build.xml, for the AMXAdminTask element, set the action attribute to add and the objectSelector attribute to LogAppender.

   <AMXAdminTask action="add" objectSelector="LogAppender"/>

3. Invoke the command-line interface on the build file (logappender_build.xml) using the following command:

   ant -f logappender_build.xml create
