WebSphere Adapter for Siebel Business Applications

Enabling logging

Use the WebSphere® Adapter for Siebel Business Applications to maintain 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. Since 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.

Enable logging through the WebSphere Process Server administrative console to view the log files when adapter errors occur.
  1. Start WebSphere Process Server.
  2. Start the WebSphere Process Server administrative console.
  3. Log into the WebSphere Process Server administrative console.
  4. From the administrative console, select Troubleshooting > Logs and Trace.
  5. Click Component to specify a log detail level for individual components or click Groups to specify a log detail for a predefined group of components.
  6. Select the logging level that you need. The Logging levels table below describes different logging levels that you can set through the WebSphere Process Server administrative console.
    Note: To view detail-level log events, you must enable the Diagnostic Trace Service. Log events that are at Detail Level or above can be viewed in the SystemOut log, the IBM® Service log (when enabled), or the Diagnostic Trace Service (when enabled).
    Table 1. Logging level choices
    Level Indicator Description
    Audit A Significant event affecting server state or resources
    Config C Configuration change or status.
    Detail D General information detailing subtask progress.
    Fatal F Task cannot continue. Component cannot function.
    Info I General information outlining overall task progress
    Severe E Task cannot continue. Component can still function. This also includes conditions that indicate an impending fatal error - i.e. reporting on situations that strongly suggest that resources are on the verge of being depleted.
    Warning W Potential error or impending error. This also includes conditions that indicate a progressive failure - for example, the potential leaking of resources.
  7. To save your changes, click Apply.
