Log Files Do Not Roll Over to Backup Files in IBM WebSphere

Symptom:

On IBM WebSphere, the log files for the State Manager and AFM applications do not roll over to the backup files automatically.

Solution:

Edit the AFM and State Manager log properties files as follows:

1. Navigate to the AFM_HOME\conf\afm directory, and open arcotafm-log4j.properties and arcotsm-log4j.properties in a text editor.
2. Search for the following entries in the files and comment it out by preceding it with a hash symbol (#):
   • In the AFM log properties file: log4j.appender.afmout=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
   • In the State Manager log properties file: log4j.appender.smlog=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
3. Add the following entry after the line you commented out in the previous step:

   In the AFM log properties file:

   log4j.appender.afmout=com.arcot.logger.log4j.appender.ArcotDailyRollingFileAppender

   In the State Manager log properties file:

   log4j.appender.smlog=com.arcot.logger.log4j.appender.ArcotDailyRollingFileAppender

4. Save and close the files.
5. Restart the WebSphere application server.
