After installation is complete, use the administrative console
to change the log stream name or create new log stream names for servers or
servants.
Note:
- A server's error log stream setting overrides the general WebSphere® Application
Server for z/OS® setting,
and a servant setting overrides a server setting. Thus, you can set up general
error logging, but direct error logging for servers or servants to specific
log streams.
- If you create a new log stream name through the administrative console,
you must configure a new log stream on z/OS and, if using the coupling facility,
define a corresponding new coupling facility log stream.
- If you changed an existing log stream, or created a new one, you probably
need to restart WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS.
When the name of a log stream is changed through the administrative console,
in most cases a restart of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS is required
before the change becomes effective. The only case when the change takes effect
automatically is when the log stream name is changed for a server along with
other changes that cause the server to be restarted.
If you want WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS messages
that occur during execution of a z/OS client to be recorded in an error
log stream, code the client_ras_logstreamname WebSphere variable
in its environment file then initialize the client. For more information about client_ras_logstreamname and
the related variable ras_log_logstreamName, see the WebSphere variables
in the administrative console or the information center.
Our RACF
® samples
BBOWBRAC and BBODBRAC give UPDATE authority to the runtime control and servant
user IDs for the log stream you created (they require that you supply a log
stream name). After installation and customization, if you want to grant access
to the log stream:
- For each server identity that writes to the log stream (or client identity,
if you allow clients to write to the error log stream), assign UPDATE access
to the log stream.
- For each user who browses the error log stream, assign READ access.
Follow the sample RACF commands in BBOWBRAC or BBODBRAC.
