For the z/OS® Log Forwarder,
you can enable static tracing by using the logging configuration file.
About this task
The trace settings in the logging configuration file are
applied each time that the
z/OS Log Forwarder is
started.
If you do not want to restart the z/OS Log Forwarder to
enable tracing, use the MVS™ MODIFY command
to enable dynamic tracing.
Procedure
To enable static tracing, complete the following steps:
- Copy the logging.properties file
from the samples directory to a read/write directory.
- Edit the logging.properties file as
instructed by IBM® Software Support.
- Update the environment configuration file to set the value
of the ZLF_LOG environment variable to the directory
where you copied the logging.properties file in step 1.
- Restart the z/OS Log Forwarder.
What to do next
When the trace settings are no longer needed, return the
logging configuration file to its original contents.
