IT47784: TRACESTRING MODIFICATION TO PRINT THE WAS LOGS TO THE SERVICE TRACE IN IBM ACE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM App Connect Enterprise the traceString to print the WAS
  log into the service trace has been hardcoded to
  "com.ibm.ws.policyset.*=all:com.ibm.ws.wssecurity.*=all:com.ibm.
  wsspi.wssecurity.*=all:com.ibm.websphere.wssecurity.*=all:com.ib
  m.ws.wssecurity.util.timer.*=off:com.ibm.ws.wssecurity.handler.t
  oken.Cache=off"
  and any changes in this traceString provided by the WAS team
  would require an ifix to modify it and print the WAS logs in the
  service trace.
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM App Connect Enterprise who enable WAS logging
  for debugging WS-Security configuration errors.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  LinuxZ64, AIX, ZOS, LinuxX64, LinuxPPCLE64
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  In IBM App Connect Enterprise, the traceString for printing the
  WAS logs into the service trace for debugging WS-Security errors
  is currently hardcoded. Any modifications to this traceString,
  as provided by the WAS team, would require an ifix to update it
  and enable the printing of WAS logs in the service trace.
  

Problem conclusion

• The product has been updated to enable users to directly specify
  any traceString provided by the WAS team with the help of an
  environment variable "MQSI_WAS_TRACE_STRING" for printing the
  WAS logs into the ACE service trace, thereby eliminating the
  need to create an ifix.
