10.5.6 Troubleshooting the dynamic cache service
- Use the Cache monitor to test.
- Verify cachespec.xml file.
- Review the JVM logs for your appserver. Messages prefaced with DYNA result from dynamic cache service operations.
- View the JVM logs for your appserver. Each server has its own JVM log file. For example, if your server is named Web1, the JVM log is located in...
<install_root>/logs/Web1/
Alternatively, use the Administrative Console to review the JVM logs, click...
Troubleshooting | Logs and Trace | <AppServer_Name> | JVM Logs | Runtime tab | View
- Find any messages prefaced with DYNA in the JVM logs, and write down the message IDs. A sample message having the message ID DYNA0030E follows:
DYNA0030E: "property" element is missing required attribute "name".
- Find the message for each message ID in the WAS InfoCenter. In the InfoCenter navigation tree, click <product_name> -> Reference -> Troubleshooter -> Messages -> DYNA to view dynamic cache service messages.
- Try the solutions stated under User Response in the DYNA messages.
- Enable tracing on the appserver for com.ibm.ws.cache.*. To enable it, click Troubleshooting -> Logs and Trace -> <AppServer_Name> -> Diagnostic Trace in the WAS console. Click the Configuration tab, click the Enable Log checkbox and click OK.

...and add the trace string...
com.ibm.ws.cache.*=all
Separate entries with a colon (:).
![]()
Note that *=info is the default value, so we recommend keeping it in the configuration.
If you experience problems with cache replication, then enable the trace for com.ibm.ws.drs.*.
We need to restart the server and monitor the trace file.
