WebSphere Adapter for FTP

Enabling logging

The WebSphere Adapter for FTP maintains a log file that you can view to determine the status of event processing. All events and errors that relate to the adapter are tracked by the log file, along with the date, time, and event for each log entry. Because the adapter logs an error message when it encounters an error or warning condition, the log file is a good source to start troubleshooting problems. Logging for the FTP Adapter is enabled through the WebSphere Process Server administrative console.

Before you begin

Verify that the WebSphere Process Server administrative console is started and working properly.
