The Repository Manager makes a log entry each time an activity that affects the repository takes place and generates two types of log files: mtb_server.log and log.00000000nn. You can run the following steps to clean up those log files periodically.
The maximum size for mtb_server.log is 4 GB. When the log exceeds that size, the Scheduler does not start. If you encounter this problem, either rename the current log file or move it to a new location.
To clean up mtb_server.log file

Go to the logs directory in your repository directory.
Example
C:/ProgramData/Trillium Software/MBSW/version/Data/logs
Locate the file mtb_server.log.
Rename the file or move it to a new location. A new log file is aTomatically created next time a log activity takes place.
