Snapshots Download a snapshot of the current DWS data to investigate issues by support staff. Unless advised by Kofax support, do not change the value for Limit Kofax log files from 1. Changing this value to -1 instructs DWS to download all logs files and can have a significant impact on a live DWS system. This action is best performed after hours and can temporarily put a significant increase on disk usage.
