Description

The following configuration should be valid but raises an exception because the filePattern contains no date however it does contain an increment pattern.

    <RollingRandomAccessFile name="File" fileName="${filename}"
        filePattern="logs/icap.log-%i">
      <PatternLayout pattern="%m%n"/>
      <Policies>
        <OnStartupTriggeringPolicy />
        <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="12" modulate="true"/>
        <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="500 MB"/>
      </Policies>
