The Web DataBlade manuals have a comment about leaving the AppPage
Builder program running on a production database on page 11-4 of the
Version 4.0 Administrator's Guide.

   "You should not install AppPage Builder (APB) in a Production
    Database, since APB is typically only used during development and
    can pose a security risk if present in a production database."

The only files created with a .log extension are debug logs.  What
