  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The Activity Log configurableservice provides an option to apply
  the configurable service to one or all of the integration
  servers on the integration node. The default is 'all' and in
  such case, it is possible that one or more of the integration
  servers may abend when they all try to write to the same
  activity log file.
  

Problem conclusion

• The product has been updated to introduce a new option,
  "executionGroupSpecificLogs", in the activity log configurable
  service. This option can be set to true or false, allowing users
  to specify whether to generate a separate activity log file for
  each Integration Server.  If you select this option, then the
  'activitylog file name' will be used to create a specific
  activitylogfile_EGname file for each of the integration servers.
