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.
