The basic mode log and trace framework is enabled by default when you set up a new
application server. Use this topic to switch to the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log
and trace framework.
Before you begin
Before beginning this task, read about the differences between HPEL mode and basic mode. Be
aware of changes you might need to make to any tools and scripts you have that use the basic mode
log and trace files.
About this task
HPEL provides faster log and trace handling capabilities and more flexible ways to use log
and trace content than the basic mode. You can switch to HPEL mode using the administrative console,
or using wsadmin scripting.
Procedure
Results
The server is now configured to use HPEL when you restart.
If this task was done using the
deployment manager, you might need to synchronize the node agent on the target node before
restarting the server.
What to do next
Configure HPEL to meet your needs. If you have any tools or scripts that were using the
basic mode log and trace files, you might need to modify them to continue working with HPEL.
