Hi All,
I am exploring the different options we have with respect to logging in IIB. I am currently using IIB 10 with T24 adapters to send and receive data from T24..


I have tried to setup my logging as follows

Place the file “Logging.properties” anywhere, and give the path in JVM arguments with the below command :

mqsichangeproperties <brokerName> -o ComIbmJVMManager -n jvmSystemProperty -v"-DJULlog.configuration=<path_where_logging_properties_is_kept>/logging.properties -Dorg.jboss.logging.provider=JDK"


and my logging.properties looks as follows..

handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler,java.util.logging.FileHandler
.level = ALL
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=ALL
java.util.logging.FileHandler.level=ALL
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern=C://Users/Desktop//log4j/newlog1.out
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
java.util.logging.FileHandler.append=true..




I still do not have anything written to the log file.. Could I be missing something here? I am trying to track the data coming out of the T24 adapter into IIB.

Thanks

Log4j and Broker should be consigned to the trashcan.
There are better solutions builtin to the product.

Sadly (and at the risk of becoming boring) far too many Java devs log everything including the kitchen sink using things like Log4j. They need to be weaned/detoxed off it.
Then what happens when someone fogets to disable it and the full debug level logging flow gets deployed to PROD. I've seen a PROD serve brought to its knees because of this very issue. A critical filesystem (in your case the windows C: drive could become full. Windows does not like full filesystems any more then Unix/Linux.

No, no and thrice no. Don't do it.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions.

Use the log4j rolling log appender option to prevent the file system from filling up.
