Changing the message IDs used in log files
You can change the default format for message IDs in server logs
by setting the com.ibm.websphere.logging.messageId.version system property.
Deprecated feature: In new releases of WebSphere
Application Server, logging files will be formatted according to a standardized
system. However, the default runtime behavior is still configured to use the
older format. In new releases of WebSphere Application Server the message
IDs written to log files will be changed to ensure they do not conflict with
other IBM products. The default runtime behavior is still configured to use
the older message IDs, deprecated in V6.1.depfeat
I
The
following is a sample of an entry in a trace.log file using a default message
ID. Note that the message ID is PMON0001A
[1/26/05 10:17:12:529 EST] 0000000a PMIImpl A PMON0001A: PMI is enabled
A sample of the same entry using a new message ID follows. Note that
the message ID is CWPMI0001A. All new WebSphere Application Server message
IDs begin with 'CW'.
[1/26/05 10:17:12:529 EST] 0000000a PMIImpl A CWPMI0001A: PMI is enabled.
Overview
If you are using a logging tool that uses the new standardized format,
you might want to change the default configuration settings to format the
logging output appropriately. You will need to change the configuration for
each JVM in the cell if you want the output formatting to be the same across
application servers.
Procedure
To configure logging files to be formatted according to the new
system, use the following command in the wsadmin utility:
set jvmEntry [$AdminConfig list JavaVirtualMachine]
$AdminConfig create Property $jvmEntry {{name com.ibm.websphere.logging.messageId.version} {value 6} {required false}}
Note: You
must restart the application server for the changes to take effect. Also,
remember to do this for each JVM in the cell for consistent output formatting.
Results
Message IDs written to log files will now be compliant with the new
standard.
