Converting log files to use IBM unique Message IDs
The convertlog command creates a new log file with either new or old message IDs substituted in place of the message IDs in the source file.
Before you begin
Deprecated feature: Prior to Version 6.x, components were assigned message IDs that are not
necessarily unique across IBM® software products. In Version 6.0, a system property was provided to map the message IDs
in output logs to a set of IBM unique message IDs (all WebSphere® Application Server message IDs now start with CW) that do not
conflict with other IBM software products. The default runtime behavior still uses the old message IDs.
