I'm using EWS on an Exchange 2007 with basic authentication. I'm calling just the FindItems() method and the transaction log seem to grow alarmingly.

On my test server I ran an endless loop calling FindItems() and the logs grew with 1 MB per 5-6 minutes. In an production environment, calling this would cause a growth of 1 MB per 10-15 seconds!

Why does the transaction log grow when I only make read-only requests to the EWS?

  • Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I've run into the same thing, and I'm pretty much stuck trying to troubleshoot it. – jalf Mar 24 '11 at 09:17

It is possible the production server makes more logs. It is possible your test-server didn't log these events while the production server does. This is a setting.

  • @Ben: you are right. In all 3 parts of the blog mentioned by @TiZon I couldn't find out if there is a possibility to see the contents of the transaction logs. I want a way to find out what "transactions" are logged, if I only make read-only requests through the EWS. – mcanti Feb 24 '11 at 07:02
