To set up enhanced logging for Rational® DOORS® Web
Access reporting, you must create a log file and add a command to server.start.bat.
Procedure
- Create a file called log4j.properties that
contains commands like this example:
log4j.rootLogger=WARN, R
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.File=c:/DWA/translation_layer.log
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=300KB
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=5
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} [%t] %5p %-50.50c - %m%n
log4j.logger.com.ibm.rational.doors=DEBUG
- Save the file as DWAInstallDir/server/conf/log4j.properties
Important: You must save the file in the conf directory.
- Edit the server.start.bat file. Open the file and add a line like this example:
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dlog4j.configuration="file:///c:/DWA/server/conf/log4j.properties"
Important: When you add the line to the server.start.bat file,
you must make sure that you add it before the call ".\startup.bat" line.
- Restart the Rational DOORS Web Access server.
Results
The logging information is output to the file specified in
the
log4j.properties file. In this example, the
log file is called
c:/DWA/translation_layer.log.
