If a service fails, or if there are issues with a component,
review the log information to troubleshoot the problem.
Server
If a service fails, review the server
log first. The server log is available from the manager under Service
Monitoring. Select the service instance that failed and
click Outputs to view the log.
Manager, connection manager, and service interface
The
manager, the connection manager, and the service interface are Java™ Platform Enterprise Edition
(Java EE) applications that
run on an application server. Because these web applications run on
an application server, all log messages are in the application server
log. For example, for WebSphere® Application
Server Community Edition, the application server log is in wascefolder/var/log/server.log,
where wascefolder is the folder
in which WebSphere Application
Server Community Edition is installed. For example, the default location
of the log on a Microsoft Windows computer is C:\IBM\InfoSphere\Optim\shared\WebSphere\AppServerCommunityEdition\var\log\server.log.
