The convertlog command is used to convert the message IDs in log entries from the old standard to the new standard, or the new standard back to the old.
Previous versions of WebSphere Application Server used message IDs that are deprecated in WebSphere Application Server V6.1. To facilitate the migration of tools based on the old message IDs, the convertlog command is implemented to translate log files from one message ID standard to the other. Use the convertlog command as follows:
convertlog <source file name> <destination file name> [options]
options: -newMessageFormat convert message IDs to CCCCCnnnnS format
(cannot be used with -m5)
-oldMessageFormat convert message IDs to CCCCnnnnS format
(cannot be used with -m6)
