The Java™ log file

The automation adapter writes Java log files into the following directories:
  • /custom-root/data/eez/log
  • /custom-root/data
The trace and event log files are written only if debugging is switched on.

The message log file can be accessed via the automation adapter Web-based graphical user interface (WebUI).

The trace log files are to be used by IBM® Support for debugging purposes. Use the IBMSupport parameter of the ingadapter.sh USS script to generate all of these files as a zip file in the data directory.

All log and trace files are in UTF-8 format. If you use an FTP client and an editor that can handle UTF-8, you should not have any problems reading the logs.

In a telnet session to z/OS USS you can use the following command (although you might lose a few characters):
	view -a filename
In z/OS you must convert the files from UTF to EBCDIC using the command:
	iconv -f utf-8 -t ibm-500 traceFlatAdapter.log  > new.log
