Collecting data manually

The batch environment uses the WebSphere Application Server logging and tracing system.


Gather the following traces if you encounter any problems in your Compute Grid(Java Batch) environment:

On the Scheduler server(s) enable following trace
com.ibm.ws.batch*=all:com.ibm.ws.grid*=all

On the Endpoint server(s) enable following trace
com.ibm.ws.batch*=all:com.ibm.ws.grid*=all:com.ibm.ws.ci.*=all
In addition to collecting the traces , please gather the following:
  • Job logs - A job log is a file that contains a detailed record of the execution details of a job. System messages from the batch container and output from the job executables are collected. Job logs are located in WAS_PROFILE_ROOT/joblogs directory.
    If using external scheduler, collect the job logs of external scheduler as well. On z/OS this would be the JES job log of the JES job that launched the Compute Grid job by calling WSGRID. On other platforms there may be analogous external scheduler logs, even if it is not integrated into the Operating System.

  • Gather all the First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) files. The FFDC files are in the ffdc subdirectory at the same location as the JVM logs.
