Logging information about job types with advanced options

You can use the logging.properties file to configure the logging process for job types with advanced options, with the exception of the Executable and Access Method job types.

The logging.properties file is located on the HCL Workload Automation Agent, under TWA_home/TWS/JavaExt/cfg/logging.properties.

Following installation, this file is as follows:

# Specify the handlers to create in the root logger
# (all loggers are children of the root logger)
# The following creates two handlers
handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler, java.util.logging.FileHandler
    
# Set the default logging level for the root logger
.level = INFO
    
# Set the default logging level for new ConsoleHandler instances
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = INFO
    
# Set the default logging level for new FileHandler instances
java.util.logging.FileHandler.level 
    = ALL
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern 
    = C:\TWA_home\TWS\JavaExt\logs\javaExecutor%g.log
java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit 
    = 1000000
java.util.logging.FileHandler.count 
    = 10
 
# Set the default formatter for new ConsoleHandler instances
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.
SimpleFormatter
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.
SimpleFormatter
    
# Set the default logging level for the logger named com.mycompany
com.ibm.scheduling = INFO

You can customize:

The logging level (from INFO to WARNING, ERROR, or ALL) in the following keywords:

.level

Defines the logging level for the internal logger.

com.ibm.scheduling

Defines the logging level for the job types with advanced options. To log information about job types with advanced options, set this keyword to ALL.
The path where the logs are written, specified by the following keyword:
```
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern
```
