By using the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS support for
logging application messages and trace data, you can improve the reliability,
availability, and serviceability of any Java application that runs in a WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS server.
About this task
Through this support, your Java application's messages can appear
on the MVS master console, in the error log stream, or in the component trace
(CTRACE) data set for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. Your application's
trace entries can appear in the same CTRACE data set.
Procedure
- Determine where to issue the log messages. Read Message location best practices for tips on which tools to use.
- Configure logging in the MVS master console, the error log stream,
or the CTRACE data set.
