USS Log Files

Use UNIX System Services (USS) to retrieve logs according to your site-specific practices.

Note: For information about changing parameters, see the Administration Guide.

Server, boot, chorus, and discipline-specific log files are available in the following location:

/cai/cetjr4m0/logs

The following list provides a high-level introduction to the types of USS logs.

Note: Some of the following log files are in ASCII (code page ISO8859-1) format. When you send the files through FTP to a PC, transfer them in binary mode. To look at the files in z/OS, use the View ASCII data option for browse or the EA line command from the directory list.

server.log

Includes all generated logging from the CA Chorus Teiid thread. You can change the value of the priority element to DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, and FATAL depending on the log requirement. Messages include a standard prefix with timestamp, time zone, and thread ID. End-user information is provided in chorus-status.log, JESMSGLG, or WTO.

Name: chorus-investigator.tmp and server-ebcdic.log

Location: $CHORUS_HOME/logs

Settings: CA Chorus Application Server environment file -Djboss.server.log.threshold=DEBUG

server-ebcdic.log

CoptDsService-FFFFFF00000000C0.log

Includes the details that are generated whenever the code is invoked and the CA_AXIS2C_LOG_LEVEL variable is set to anything other than NONE. The Data Source API JNI code produces this log file. The USS thread ID is included in the file name. So, each thread writes to a separate log file.

Name: CoptDsService log

Location: $CHORUS_HOME/logs

Settings: CA Chorus Application Server ENVETJ file CA_AXIS2C_LOG_LEVEL=INFO|DEBUG|ERROR|FATAL

Axis2c logs

The following log files are written during the operation of the CA Chorus Application Server:

CoptDsService-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX.log

Includes details about threads that execute a web service request. One file is created for every unique thread that executes a web service request.

SERVICE

Identifies the name of the service (the subdirectory of axis2/services) that is being executed.

XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX

Indicates the POSIX thread ID of the thread executing the web service request.

CoptDsStat.log

Includes summary and accounting information for web service operations. This file is written from the CoptDsService code. When the first web service request comes in, the data source API initializes and writes startup information to this file. The following list shows example startup information:

  • Maximum threshold number
  • URI
  • Debug status
  • Environment variable values
  • Address of the global structure

Name: Copt ds log

Location: $CHORUS_HOME/logs

CoptThread.log

Includes watchdog thread data, which watches for sessions that are not active. If the idle time threshold is exceeded, the threads are removed. Messages appear when the thread wakes up and when it terminates any sessions. This file is written from the data source API service watchdog thread.

Name: Copt thread log

Location: $CHORUS_HOME/logs

Settings: CA Chorus Application server ENVETJ file CA_AXIS2C_LOG_LEVEL=INFO|DEBUG|ERROR|FATAL

Name: Policy admin log

Location: $CHORUS_HOME/logs

dsi_stderr.log and dsi_stdout.log

Includes the output that is written from the DSI (Distributed Security Interface) server that is spawned during the CA Chorus Application Server initialization. These files contain meaningful data if the debug setting is set to a value other than zero. Sensitive information can be written to these files when the debug is enabled. So, enable this log only when necessary.

Name: DSI output

Location: $CHORUS_HOME/logs

Settings: Debug setting in dsi.conf (65535 is maximum detail).

chorus-status.log

Includes CA Chorus status, including error messages that indicate the following details:

Additionally, the log includes messages that indicate when the product starts and when it is available.

Name: status log

Location: $CHORUS_HOME/logs
