APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Batch Server log files, especially for Web Service, can grow
    over time to very large sizes even with default
    log4j.properties settings.
    

Local fix

  • You may stop the Application Discovery Web Service service if
    you are not currently using Application Delivery Intelligence
    to interface with Application Discovery.
    

Problem summary

  • An embedded log4j.properties file that enabled verbose logging
    was shipped in a Web Service jar file, causing the
    log4j.properties file accessible to the AD administrator to not
    take precedence.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The unintended, embedded copy of log4j.properties was removed.
    Two more properties which can be used to reduce the amount of
    space occupied by the AD log files (configured in the
    log4j.properties file):
    log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex - the maximum number of log
    files kept
    log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize - the maximum size of a log file
    

Temporary fix
