You can configure the amount and format of information logged as well
as the log file location by editing the ddsLogging.properties file
in the following directory (by default): C:\Program Files\IBM\SDPShared\plugins\com.ibm.etools.iseries.dds_version.
To get detailed information about the DDS parser and model change
the .level setting to FINEST from its default of SEVERE.
