### To set the location of the transaction logs

The transaction log records the information about each transaction in order to maintain the data integrity of the resources involved and to recover from failures. Transaction logs are kept in the `tx` subdirectory of the directory specified by the Transaction Log Location field. These logs are not human readable.

1. In the tree component, select the Configuration node.

2. Select the Transaction Service node.

3. Enter the location of the transaction logs in the Transaction Log Location field.

   A `tx` subdirectory is created and transaction logs are kept under that directory.

4. Click Save.

5. Restart the Application Server.
