If you change your system clock, this may adversely affect how messages are queued and logged in Iguana 4.0.

This is because Iguana stores its log messages in log files, and a new log file is created every day. If you change the current date on your system to be a later date, Iguana will create a new log file for that day, and all logs and messages will be written to that file.

The problems that you may encounter are:

• If you revert to a previous date, the logs and messages will now be written to the older file. This means that the messages are now out of sequence. Messages in the older file will be processed before messages in the newer file, which may not be what you want.
• If you change the system time without changing the date, messages will be processed in the order in which they are received, but logging information will be stored out of sequence.

To avoid these problems, do not change the system time on a server that is running Iguana. If you need to change the system time on your server, stop Iguana and clear the log directory before restarting it.
