Isolate CA Catalyst Logging Information from soimgr.log

You can isolate CA Catalyst-related logging information from soimgr.log in the SOI_HOME\tomcat\lib\log4j.xml file. You add appropriate entries to the log4j.xml file. These entries configure the product to log CA Catalyst-specific information to a separate catalyst.log file. This file would include information from the Persistence Service, Reconciler, Synchronizer, and Notification Manager components.

Follow these steps:

1. Locate and open the SOI_HOME\tomcat\lib\log4j.xml file in a text editor.
2. Add a section to the file similar to the following:

   <appender name="CAT" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
   	<param name="File" value="&logDir;/catalyst.log"/>
   	<param name="Append" value="true"/>
   	<param name="MaxFileSize" value="20MB"/>
   	<param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="10"/>
   	<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
   	<param name="ConversionPattern" value="&filePattern;"/>
   	</layout>
   </appender>
   

3. Add a logger to the appender with the appropriate log level as follows:

   <logger name="com.ca.ssa.sor" additivity="false">
   	<level value="INFO" />
   	<appender-ref ref="CAT" />
   </logger>
   

4. Save the changes and close the file.
