Exporting Logs to a File

You can update the logback.xml file to export plug-in logs to a file.

1. Navigate to the TIBCO_HOME/bw/version_number/config/design/logback directory and open the logback.xml file.
   Note: After deploying an application in TIBCO Enterprise Administrator, navigate to the TIBCO_HOME/bw/domains/mydomain/appnodes/myspace/mynode directory to find the logback.xml file.
2. Add the following node to specify the file where the log is exported:

   <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
      <file>c:/bw6-bwpluginejb.log</file>
         <encoder>
           <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36}-%msg%n</pattern>
         </encoder>
   </appender>

   The value of the file element is the absolute path of the file that stores the exported log.

   Note: Add also the file name in the file path.
3. Add the following node to the root node at the bottom of the logback.xml file:

   	<appender-ref ref="FILE" />

   <root level="DEBUG">
      <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
      <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
   </root>

4. Save the file.
