Log location

  • From Developer for z/OS® Versions 7.5.0.0, 7.5.1.1, 7.6.0.0:

In Version 7.5.0.0, daemon.log was introduced in rsed.envvars (commented out) to specify where rsedaemon.log and rseserver.log are located. If not specified, the home directory of the user assigned to the RSED started task is used. Note that daemon.log is relative to the configuration directory (/etc/rdz) when it is not an absolute path.

In Version 7.5.1.1, user.log and DSTORE_LOG_DIRECTORY were introduced in rsed.envvars, (commented out) which specify where the user-specific logs are located: user.log/DSTORE_LOG_DIRECTORY/$LOGNAME/*.log.

  • If user.log is not specified, the home directory of the user is used. Note that user.log is relative to the configuration directory (/etc/rdz) when it is not an absolute path.
  • If DSTORE_LOG_DIRECTORY is not specified, /.eclipse/RSE is used. Note that DSTORE_LOG_DIRECTORY can be a null string.
In Version 7.6.0.0, Developer for z/OS uncommented the mentioned variables and routed all logs to /var/zexpl/logs. Example:
_RSE_JAVAOPTS=“$_RSE_JAVAOPTS -Ddaemon.log=/var/zexpl/logs”
_RSE_JAVAOPTS=“$_RSE_JAVAOPTS -Duser.log=/var/zexpl/logs”
_RSE_JAVAOPTS=“$_RSE_JAVAOPTS -DDSTORE_LOG_DIRECTORY=”
