You can review the available log files to monitor your
system and identify issues that may need to be addressed.
Logging can be used for monitoring and debugging IBM® Rational® Asset
Manager. Logging tracks ordinary Rational Asset Manager user operations
as well as any errors that occur while Rational Asset Manager is running.
By default, logging is enabled for Rational Asset Manager and for
IBM WebSphere® Application
Server.
As you monitor your system, check web server log files for errors
and server restarts. Also review system log files, which are in the
following location: \IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\logs.
Rational Asset Manager logging
Logging is
on by default and includes separate index and server logs:
- ramJobServerDebug.txt
- indexJobServerSystemErrLog.txt - There is one of these log files
for each indexer instance.
The main server logs are located under the log server
directories (for example
<install path>/logs/server1 and
include these log files for each server:
- SystemOut.log
- SystemErr.log
- ramDebug.log
To download log files directly from the Rational Asset
Manager web client:
- Log into Rational Asset Manager as a repository administrator.
- Click Administration.
- In the Repository Administration sidebar, click Tools.
- In the Logs section, select the log file to download:
- Click ramDebug.log to view the log file.
If you are on a WebSphere Application Server cluster, the log file
will only be for the server instance that you are currently connected
to.
- To download a .zip file with all the logs that you might
need for IBM support, click
the appropriate Support logs link. You can
download the log files that have changed today, in the last days,
in the last 30 days, or all of the log files.
In the Logs section there is also asset index error information
available. You can also view a list of assets that could not be fully
indexed due to an error by clicking Partially indexed assets.
WebSphere Application Server logging
You
set up and configure WebSphere Application Server logging by using
the WebSphere Application Server Administration console. You can use
this URL to access the WebSphere Application Server Administration
Console: http://<
server name>:<
admin
console port number>:/ibm/console where
server
name is the name of the Rational Asset Manager server system,
and
admin console port number is the Administration
console port number (13060 by default with Rational Asset Manager,
or 9060 for other WebSphere Application Server versions). The location
of the log files are under these directories:
- For WebSphere Application Server:<install
path>\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\logs
- For the default Rational Asset Manager installation with the embedded
version of WebSphere Application Server: <install
path>\common\eWAS\profiles\profile1\logs
