4.3.4 Enabling Logging

Perform this procedure to enable logging in Oracle WebLogic Server.

To enable logging in Oracle WebLogic Server:

1. Edit the logging.xml file as follows:
   1. Add the following blocks in the file:

      
      <log_handler name='JIRA-handler' level='[LOG_LEVEL]'          class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'><property name='logreader:' value='off'/>     <property name='path'          value='[FILE_NAME]'/>     <property name='format'          value='ODL-Text'/>     <property name='useThreadName'          value='true'/>     <property name='locale'          value='en'/>     <property name='maxFileSize'          value='5242880'/>     <property name='maxLogSize'          value='52428800'/>     <property name='encoding'          value='UTF-8'/>   </log_handler> <logger name="ORG.IDENTITYCONNECTORS.GENERICREST" level="[LOG_LEVEL]"          useParentHandlers="false">     <handler          name="Jira-handler"/>    <handler          name="console-handler"/> </logger> <logger name="ORG.IDENTITYCONNECTORS.RESTCOMMON" level="[LOG_LEVEL]"          useParentHandlers="false">     <handler          name="Jira-handler"/>     <handler          name="console-handler"/>   </logger>

   2. Replace both occurrences of [LOG_LEVEL] with the ODL message type and level combination that you require. Table 4-1 lists the supported message type and level combinations. Similarly, replace [FILE_NAME] with the full path and name of the log file in which you want log messages to be recorded. The following blocks show sample values for [LOG_LEVEL] and [FILE_NAME]:

      
      <log_handler name= ‘Jira-handler' level='NOTIFICATION:1'          class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'><property name='logreader:' value='off'/>     <property name='path'          value='F:\MyMachine\middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain1\servers\oim_server1\logs\oim_server1-diagnostic-1.log'/>          <property name='format'          value='ODL-Text'/>     <property name='useThreadName'          value='true'/>     <property name='locale'          value='en'/>     <property name='maxFileSize'          value='5242880'/>     <property name='maxLogSize'          value='52428800'/>     <property name='encoding'          value='UTF-8'/>   </log_handler> <logger name="ORG.IDENTITYCONNECTORS.GENERICREST" level="NOTIFICATION:1"          useParentHandlers="false">     <handler          name="Jira -handler"/>     <handler          name="console-handler"/>   </logger> s<logger name="ORG.IDENTITYCONNECTORS.RESTCOMMON" level="NOTIFICATION:1"          useParentHandlers="false">     <handler          name=" Jira -handler"/>     <handler          name="console-handler"/>       </logger>

   With these sample values, when you use Oracle Identity Governance, all messages generated for this connector that are of a log level equal to or higher than the NOTIFICATION:1 level are recorded in the specified file.

2. Save and close the file.
3. Set the following environment variable to redirect the server logs to a file:
   • For Microsoft Windows: set WLS_REDIRECT_LOG=FILENAME
   • For UNIX: export WLS_REDIRECT_LOG=FILENAME

   Replace FILENAME with the location and name of the file to which you want to redirect the output.

4. Restart the application server.
