PH65227: JVMLOG DOES NOT CONTAIN INFO LEVEL DIAGNOSTIC OUTPUT FROM CICS' JAVA CODE DESPITE LOG_LEVEL=INFO

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• CICS is running with the SJ trace level set to OFF, 1, 2 or 1-2.
  
  A JVMSERVER is enabled with LOG_LEVEL=INFO in the JVM profile,
  or without LOG_LEVEL specified causing it to default to INFO.
  
  The JVMSERVER's JVMLOG file is created but only populated with
  output from CICS' C code that runs in the JVM.  The "info" level
  tracing from CICS' Java code is not written to the JVMLOG file.
  
  CICS needs updating to ensure the LOG_LEVEL option is respected
  when writing to the JVMLOG.
  
  If SJ tracing levels 3, 4 or 5 are enabled then this problem
  does not occur.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The JVMLOG output for a JVM server is   *
  *                      incomplete.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  A JVMSERVER is enabled with the CICS region's SJ tracing set to
  OFF, 1, 2 or 1-2.
  
  Regardless of the LOG_LEVEL JVM profile option, the dfhjvmlog
  file will be incomplete.  The file will only contain output from
  CICS' C code that runs within the LE enclave of the JVM.  The
  file will not contain output from CICS' Java code.
  
  The same problem occurs if the JVM server's JVMLOG output has
  been redirected to the JOBLOG or a DD card.
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS has been updated to ensure that the LOG_LEVEL JVM profile
  option is respected when determining the output to be written
  to a JVM server's dfhjvmlog file.
  
  Additionally, the "Version History" section within the javadoc
  package summary of com.ibm.cics.server (JCICS) has also been
  updated to remove an IBM internal story number and to fix
  alignment of the text.
