Setting Up Log Levels

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\version\config\design\logback directory and open the logback.xml file.
2. Add the following node in the User loggers area to specify the log level for the plug-in.

   <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.as400.runtime">
      <level value="DEBUG"/>
   </logger>

   The level tag defines the log level and the value which could be Info , Warn, Error, Debug or 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 loggers area to specify the log level for all the activities except for the QueueReceiver activity.

   <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.as400.runtime.ActivityNameActivity">
      <level value="DEBUG"/>
   </logger>

   Note: For each activity, The ActivityName is:

   • QueueReceiver: MonitorEventSource
   • CallProgram: ProgramCall
   • CallServiceProgram: ServiceProgramCall
   • ReadMessageQueue: ReadMessageQueue
   • ReadQueue: ReadQueue
   • WriteQueue: WriteQueue
   • SpoolFileList: SpoolFileListActivity
   • SpoolFileToPDF: SpoolToPDFActivity
   For example, if you want to set the log level of the CallProgram activity to Debug, you need to add the following node:

   <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.as400.runtime.ProgramCallActivity">
      <level value="DEBUG"/>
   </logger>

   To set the log level for the QueueReceiver activity, you need to add the following node:

   <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.as400.runtime.MonitorEventSource">
      <level value="DEBUG"/>
   </logger>

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