Setting Up Log Levels

You can configure different log levels for the plug-in and plug-in activities to trace different messages.

1. Navigate to the TIBCO_HOME\bw\version_number\config\design\logback directory and open the logback.xml file.
2. Add the following node in the BusinessWorks Palette and Activity loggers area to specify a log level for the plug-in:

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

   The value of the level element can be Debug, Info, or Error.

   Note: If you set the log level 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 the BusinessWorks Palette and Activity loggers area to control a log level for the activity:
   • For example, to control the debug log level for the ExcelData activity, set the following parameters:

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

   • For example, to control the debug log level for the ExcelMetadata activity, set the following parameters:

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

   Note: The activities that are not configured with specific log levels use the log level configured for the plug-in.
4. Save the file.
