Setting Up a Log Level

By default, the log level is Error . The plug-in allows you to change the log level to trace different messages.

1. Navigate to the TIBCO_HOME\bw\6.1\config\design\logback directory and open the logback.xml file.
2. Add the following node in the User Logger area to specify the log level for the plug-in.

   <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.bc.runtime">
      <level value="DEBUG"/>
   </logger>

   The level tag defines the log level and the value is Info, Warn, Error, Debug and Trace.

   Note: When the level is set to Debug, the input and output for the plug-in activities are also displayed in the Console view. See Log Levels for more details regarding each log level.
3. Optional: Add the following node in User Logger area to specify the log level for an activity.

   <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.bc.runtime.ActivityName">
      <level value="DEBUG"/>
   </logger>

   For example,
   • if you want to set the log level of the ReceiveMiscMsg/ReceiveRequestNotification/ReceiveResponse activities to Debug, you need to add the following node:

     <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.bc.runtime.ReceiveMiscMsgEventSource/
     ReceiveRequestNotificationEventSource/ReceiveResponseEventSource">
        <level value="DEBUG"/>
     </logger>

   • If you want to set the log level of the SendMiscMsg/SendRequestNotification/SendResponse activities to Debug, you need to add the following node:

     <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.bc.runtime.SendMiscMsgActivity/
     SendRequestNotificationActivity/SendResponseActivity">
        <level value="DEBUG"/>
     </logger>

   • If you want to set the log level of the shared resource to Debug, you need to add the following node:

     <logger name="com.tibco.bw.sharedresource.bc.runtime.BcConnectionSharedRecourceFactory">
        <level value="DEBUG"/>
     </logger>

   Note: For activities that are not configured with specific log levels, they still inherit the log level configured for the plug-in or BusinessWorks.
4. Save the file.
