APAR status

  • Closed as new function.

Error description

  • When OpenTelemetry is enabled for an Integration Server, trace
spans are generated for message flows. This enhancement
introduces the ability to log OpenTelemetry trace metadata,
including TRACEPARENT, TRACEID, SPANID, and TRACESTATE, as tags
in the Activity Log.
By capturing this metadata, the feature makes it easier to link
events from OpenTelemetry-based observability platforms with
those in the App Connect logging system, improving diagnostics
and troubleshooting capabilities.
