Tracing and logging WSIF
The Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) offers trace points at the opening and closing of ports, the invocation of services, and the responses from services. WSIF also includes a SimpleLog utility that can run trace when you are using WSIF outside of WebSphere® Application Server.
Before you begin
Note: This topic references one or more of the application server log files. As a
recommended alternative, you can configure the server to use the High Performance Extensible Logging
(HPEL) log and trace infrastructure instead of using SystemOut.log ,
SystemErr.log, trace.log, and
activity.log files on distributed and IBM®
i systems. You can also use HPEL in conjunction with your native z/OS® logging facilities. If you are using HPEL, you can access all of your log and trace
information using the LogViewer command-line tool from your server profile bin directory. See the
information about using HPEL to troubleshoot applications for more information on using HPEL.
