This functionality is available as part of the logging changes made in CICS TS 5.3
Peter, have you had chance to try out the logging changes provided in CICS TS 5.3 ?
As there are changes in Logging and 5.3 we will install the new System and have a look if this fits better.
Regards Peter
Peter do you have a response to this ?
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Transaction Processing
Product - CICS Transaction Server
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Transaction Processing
Product - CICS Transaction Server
At the Moment we are mostly interested in messages.log, so I will try your Suggestion to Redirect the Output to have both. As we are currently installing the System from zero I would say I need all the Output in both Locations, but not in every stage. So it demands on, where I am (Test/Production/...).
I think I will start with what you suggested and during the Progress of the first Project (currenly in Test) I will update the RFE..
thanks for reply
Peter
Which specific output files were you interested in? A JVM server controls three main files, 'dfhjvmout' intended for user-application output, 'dfhjvmerr' to contain stacktraces of exceptions/abends, and 'dfhjvmtrc' which is designed for IBM service use.
There are also Liberty output files where Liberty runs within the JVM server, for example 'messages.log' and 'trace.log' - these outputs are only available on zFS (not JES). Having said that, if you are interested in messages.log specifically and not other output, then it is possible to duplicate messages.log into dfhjvmout using -Dcom.ibm.ws.logging.console.log.level=INFO in the JVM profile. By doing this and redirecting STDOUT to JES in your JVM profile you can achieve output in both locations.
