Setting Up Log Levels

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

If you do not change any log levels, the plug-in uses the default log level of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks. The default log level is Error.

Procedure

  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.jde.runtime">
       <level value="DEBUG"/>
    </logger>

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

    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 different nodes in the User loggers area to specify different log levels for the activities:
    • For the CallBusinessFunction and QueryXMLList activities, add the following node to set the log level to Debug:
      <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.jde.runtime.ActivityNameActivity">
         <level value="DEBUG"/>
      </logger>
    • For the MonitorRealTime activity, add the following node to set the log level to Debug:
      <logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.jde.runtime.MonitorRealTimeEventSource">
         <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.
