By using the WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® support
for logging application messages and trace data, you can improve the reliability,
availability, and serviceability of any Java™ application that runs in a WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS server.
About this task
Through this support, your Java application's messages can appear on
the MVS™ master
console, in the error log stream, or in the component trace (CTRACE) data
set for WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS.
Your application's trace entries can appear in the same CTRACE data set.
Procedure
- Determine where to issue the log messages. Read Message location best practices for
tips on which tools to use.
- Configure logging in the MVS master console, the error log stream,
or the CTRACE data set.
