Error description
At WAS ND at 9.0.5, these two JVM custom properties needed to be set to true to allow web server log path to reside outside of WAS: com.ibm.ws.management.fileservice.allAccess com.ibm.ws.console.webserver.anypath A design change in 9.0.5.1 allows the web server log path to reside outside of WAS without setting these two properties, however the file name has to contain "access" or "error" in it and a file extension of .log. The purpose of this APAR is to request removing the requirement to end the filename with .log.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server using the administrative console to * * manage webserver log files. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Log files were required to end with * * .log. This prevented users with _log * * files to not be able to view their * * files. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** WebServer log files no longer require a file extension of .log.
Problem conclusion
The code was modified so that WebServer log files can have names that dont require the .log extension. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.17, 9.0.5.3.
