Using output redirection in a JVM profile

You can update the JVM profile to redirect output to a specific location.

There are a number of ways to specify different destinations for STDOUT, STDERR and JVMTRACE output.

Use of JOBLOG will result in STDOUT and JVMTRACE redirecting to SYSPRINT if defined or to a dynamic SYSnnn if not. STDERR will redirect to SYSOUT if defined or to a dynamic SYSnnn if not. For example:

STDOUT=JOBLOG
STDERR=JOBLOG
JVMTRACE=JOBLOG

Output can be sent to a DD (data definition) card in your CICS JCL. DD cards must be correctly defined or a startup error might occur. For example:

STDOUT=//DD:STDOUT
STDERR=//DD:STDERR
JVMTRACE=//DD:TRACE

In order to establish the origin of the output, entries are written with an IDENTITY_PREFIX or JVMSERVER name, as JVMSERVERS can write to the same location. If the output is JOBLOG or //DD: the parameter will be IDENTITY_PREFIX=TRUE|FALSE and you can choose whether to turn it ON or OFF.

If you choose not to specify a destination the output will redirect to the zFS default file, however you can set it to send to specific zFS files. See Activating and managing tracing for JVM servers.
