Using IBM Integration Bus log and trace files

When the TX Map node detects a problem and raises an exception, it sends information to event log and trace files through the IBM® Integration Bus logging and tracing mechanisms.

It sends information to local error log files through the IBM Integration Bus logging mechanism, which is the Event Viewer on Windows, the system log on UNIX, and the console log on z/OS® operating systems. Logging information includes event status, and node return code, which is either the map return code or the node failure code.

If you activated the user trace options, IBM Integration Bus sends information to trace files through the IBM Integration Bus tracing mechanism. Tracing information includes more information than the event log files provide, such as formatted messages.

All log and trace entries include time stamps.

Use the information that is in these IBM Integration Bus log and trace files to help you troubleshoot the problem.

For information about the IBM Integration Bus logging and tracing mechanisms, see the specific IBM Integration Bus product documentation.
