Error description
Messages that are normally written to the system log receive a time of occurrance timestamp by virtue of where they are written. It is however possible to route these messages elsewhere via the ras_default_msg_dd environment variable, where no time of occurance timestamp is provided.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V9.0 for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: On WebSphere Application Server for * * z/OS ras_default_msg_dd rerouted * * messages do not have a timestamp. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Messages that are rerouted using ras_default_msg_dd or ras_hardcopy_msg_dd do not get a time of occurrence timestamp.
Problem conclusion
Changed the code to add a timestamp to ras_default_msg_dd and ras_hardcopy_msg_dd rerouted messages when requested. To have a timestamp added to ras_default_msg_dd routed messages set ras_default_msg_dd_enable_timestamps to 1. To have a timestamp added to ras_hardcopy_msg_dd routed messages set ras_hardcopy_msg_dd_enable_timestamps to 1. The default for ras_default_msg_dd_enable_timestamps and ras_hardcopy_msg_dd_enable_timestamps is 0. When set to 0 timestamps will not be written. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.0.10.
