FileNet Workplace XT logging using log4j.properties file

Gather WorkplaceXT_Trace.log and WorkplaceXT_Debug.log using the following steps:

1. Stop Workplace XT
   
   
2. Rename the __log4j.properties in<xt_install_root>/FileNet/Config/WebClient to log4j.properties
   
   
3. Open the log4j.properties and change the following lines. It is near the bottom of the file.
   
   From:
   log4j.logger.com.filenet-debug=OFF, DebugOutputFileAppender
   
   To:
   log4j.logger.com.filenet-debug=ALL, DebugOutputFileAppender
   
   From:
   log4j.logger.com.filenet-trace=OFF, TraceOutputFileAppender
   
   To:
   log4j.logger.com.filenet-trace=ON, TraceOutputFileAppender
   
   From:
   log4j.appender.DebugOutputFileAppender.File={LOG_FILE_DIR}WorkplaceXT_Debug.log
   
   To: log4j.appender.DebugOutputFileAppender.File=<xt_install_root>/FileNet/WebClient/LogFiles/WorkplaceXT_Debug.log
   
   From:
   log4j.appender.DebugOutputFileAppender.File={LOG_FILE_DIR}WorkplaceXT_Trace.log
   
   To:
   log4j.appender.TraceOutputFileAppender.File=<xt_install_root>FileNet/WebClient/LogFiles/WorkplaceXT_Trace.log
   
   
4. Save and close the log4j.properties.
   
   
5. Login to Workplace XT. Check the Logfiles directory. If the files were not created restart the Workplace XT instance.
   
   Note: It is important to follow above steps and rename the log4j.properties back to __log4j.properties after log files are collected. Logging creates a performance impact on Workplace XT.
