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.
