Enabling User-specific Logging

When diagnosing problems, you can temporarily set logging to track one or more specific users instead of all users at once. After you complete the diagnosis, you can resume normal logging. To enable user-specific logging, you use IBM® Cognos® Configuration to configure connection information for Java™ Management Extensions (JMX) a technology that supplies tools to manage and monitor applications and service-oriented networks. Then you configure JMX connection information in a deployment properties file.

After enabling user-specific logging for IBM Cognos components, enable logging for a specific user by using the Remote Process service for JMX. For information, see the topic about using logging to diagnose a problem for a specific user in the IBM Cognos Analytics Administration and Security Guide.

You must install Oracle Java SE Development Kit or Java Software Development Kit for IBM before you can enable user-specific logging.
