logging

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am not able to setup my application server to display System.err messages in defaulttrace file. I changed the severity level to debug in the LogConfigurator under Locations. I don't know what else do I need to change to see the custom debug messages in the default trace file. I am also not able to generate the ISA runtime trace files. I changed the runtime.severity property in log-config.properties. Is there anything else I need to do ?

Thanks.

Log on to Visual administrator.

1. Select the LogConfigurator Service in the Cluster/Server/Services/LogConfigurator Node

2. Select the Locations Tab.

3. Expand and select ROOT LOCATION/System/out. or System/err

4. Select Severity: "All".

5. Save your changes by clicking the disk symbol.

Hi,

To see your logs from <b>System.err.println()</b>, kindly see the <i>defualtTrace</i> file. All the logs from this statement is logged in that.

It depends on you whether you want to use <i>System.out</i> statement or <i>System.err</i> statement to log in to thi defualtTrace file. This is what AMOL has mentioned in his 3rd point.

If you want to use the <i>defaultTrace.trc</i> file for logging then just write the statement:

<b>System.err.println("This is the error in defaultTrace.<n>.trc file");</b>

Similarly you can write anything you want in this statement.

For eg:

<b>System.err.println("Value==" +value);</b> This will print the value in the <i>defaultTrace.<n>.trc</i> file

You can locate this trace file from the following server location:

<b><Server>:\usr\sap\A06<System_ID>\JC70<Instance_ID>\j2ee\cluster\server0\log</b>

or go to portal and visit the following path:

<b>Sys admin->support->portal runtime->log viewer</b>

I hope this should solves your problem.

Folks,

Thanks for the responses, but the problem still persists after trying out everything mentioned by all of you. I am using System.err but do not see anything in the defaultTrace file.

Thought I should mention this - the default trace file does not show the application trace. Are these two things related ?

Also, any idea why is the isa runtime log not being generated even after changing the severity level to debug for the isa runtime property in the log-config.

Thx.

Hello,

It is not recommended to use System.err for logging. You'd better use your own locations.

In order to see the output written in System.err or System.out you need to increase the severity of location System -> err/out to Info and save the changes.

Vyara,

Changing it to "info" did not help either.

Thanks.

Hi,

Well did you try to increase the severity to All? Do you change it on the correct node (server or dispatcher)? Do not forget to save the changes.
