Log output destinations and characteristics

Use these variables to control log output destinations and characteristics.

client_ras_logstreamname=name

Specifies the name of the log stream for an application client run-time to use for error information.

Default: If this variable is not specified, the client run-time uses SYSOUT.

Example: 
 client_ras_logstreamname=MY.CLIENT.ERROR.LOG
Avoid trouble: Do not put the log stream name in quotes. Log stream names are not data set names.

ras_default_msg_dd=DD_card_name

Redirects write-to-operator (WTO) messages that use the default routing to hardcopy. These messages are redirected to the location identified through the DD card on the server's JCL start procedure. These WTO messages are primarily messages that WebSphere Application Server for z/OS issues during initialization.

Default: No default value is set; WTO messages that use default routing are sent to hardcopy.

Examples: 
 ras_default_msg_dd=MSGDD
 ras_default_msg_dd=DFLTLOG
Example of the DFLTLOG DD card on the server's JCL start procedure: 

//DFLTLOG    DD   SYSOUT=*

ras_hardcopy_msg_dd=DD_card_name

Redirects write-to-operator (WTO) messages that the product routes to hardcopy. These messages are redirected to the location identified through the DD card on the server's JCL start procedure. These WTO messages are primarily audit messages issued from Java™ code during initialization.

Default: No default value is set; WTO messages that use hardcopy routing are sent to hardcopy.

Example: 
 ras_hardcopy_msg_dd=MSGDD

ras_log_logstreamName

Specifies the log stream that the produce uses for error information during bootstrap processing. If the specified log stream is not found, or not accessible, a message is issued and errors are written to the server's job log.

Default: If this variable is not specified, the product uses SYSOUT.

Example: 
 ras_log_logstreamName=MY.CB.ERROR.LOG
Avoid trouble: Do not put the log stream name in quotes. Log stream names are not data set names.

redirect_server_output_dir

Specifies the output directory on the z/OS UNIX System Services file system to which redirected servant output files are to be written. Only the SYSPRINT and SYSOUT DD cards are redirected.

This value must be an absolute path to an existing directory with appropriate write permissions. If a valid value is not specified for this variable, by default, output is redirected to DD cards.

Default: If this variable is not specified, the default is an empty string.

Example: 
redirect_server_output_dir=/WAS/serverlogs
