Configuring WebSphere Application Server for z/OS variables
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS provides configuration variables
that control server behavior. Specifically, these variables allow you to control:
- Output destinations and characteristics for the error log, and for CTRACE
buffers, data sets and the external writer.
- Trace buffers, data sets, and the content of trace data.
- Types of dumps to be requested.
- Timeout values for system and application behavior.
Generally speaking, the default values are designed for normal operation
in a production environment. Other circumstances might require different values:
- When you first customize and verify WebSphere Application Server for z/OS
installation, or
- When you test application workloads in a test environment, or
- when you encounter a problem, and need to collect more diagnostic data.
