Changing from basic mode to HPEL logging and tracing

The basic mode log and trace framework is enabled by default when you set up a new application server. Use this topic to switch to the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and trace framework.

Before you begin

Before beginning this task, read about the differences between HPEL mode and basic mode. Be aware of changes you might need to make to any tools and scripts you have that use the basic mode log and trace files.

About this task

HPEL provides faster log and trace handling capabilities and more flexible ways to use log and trace content than the basic mode. You can switch to HPEL mode using the administrative console, or using wsadmin scripting.

Procedure

Results

The server is now configured to use HPEL when you restart.

What to do next

Configure HPEL to meet your needs. If you have any tools or scripts that were using the basic mode log and trace files, you might need to modify them to continue working with HPEL.
