Configure error logging

To assist administrators in investigating problems between a WebDAV client and the FileNet P8 WebDAV Servlet, you can enable server-side logging using log4j, which will log messages that are meaningful in the FileNet P8 Workplace environment.

FileNet P8 WebDAV servlet will log the following types of information:

Type Information
Request When a WebDAV client issues a request to the WebDAV servlet, the headers and any content contained within the body of the request are logged.
Response When dispatching a response to a WebDAV client request, any response headers and any content contained within the response body are logged.
Exception When errors are encountered and the response code sent back to the client might not be informative, the FileNet P8-specific information is logged.
Warning Condition When errors are encountered that are considered warnings but do not manifest in an error code sent to the client, a warning is logged with some explanatory text.

To configure error logging

  2. Locate the default Windows or UNIX location of the log4j.properties file. For example, the Windows location might be in C:\Program Files\FileNet\Config\AE\log4j.properties. and the UNIX location might be in opt/FileNet/Config/AE/log4j.properties.
  3. Do one of the following:
  4. Save and close the server startup script.
