Note: The transactions submitted by WebSphere Partner Gateway and WebSphere
Business Integration Connect product users are recorded in different time zones, as
users are from different geographies. To maintain a common reference time zone
for these transactions, WebSphere Partner Gateway and WebSphere Business
Integration Connect performs time conversion for bcg*.logs internally and records
it in GMT. However, no option is provided to change the time zones in these logs
to avoid overlapping and conflicts. For SystemOut, SystemErr, and bcg_server log
files, the timezone is in UTC (Universal Coordinated Time).
Log file management
The log files SystemOut.log and SystemErr.log are located on the workstation
where the application is deployed under the path <WebSphere Partner Gateway
install dir>/wasND/profiles/<profile-name>/logs/<server-name>.
Managing the log files means controlling the amount of disk space they can use.
Some way of limiting the size is necessary; otherwise they can grow out of control
and eventually affect your system's status. To control the file sizes, they are
maintained as a set of circular log files. You can configure the number of files in
the set and the size that each file can grow to before logging is moved to the next
file in the set. This limits the total disk space that can be taken up by the log files.
Before configuring the log files, determine if your WebSphere Partner Gateway
system was installed using simple mode or distributed mode. See the WebSphere
Partner Gateway Installation Guide for more information about simple and
distributed mode systems. Knowing the mode used for installation is important
because the way that you access the WebSphere Application Server is different for
simple and distributed modes.
For a simple mode system, the WebSphere Application Server admin console is
found by browsing to http://<server-address>:58090/admin, where the server
address is for the workstation where the system is installed. Port 58090 is the
default used by the installer, however this port may be different if the default port
was not used during installation.
If you are using a distributed mode system, the WebSphere Application Server
admin console for the deployment manager. Find this by browsing to
http://<deployment-mgr-address>:55090/admin. Port 55090 is the default used by
the installer, however this may be different if the default port was not used during
installation.

the system is configured to write them. WebSphere Partner Gateway
applications provide numerous trace messages that can be used to get
detailed information about the operation of the system. The trace messages
are written to a trace file by themselves, without any of the log messages.
The Messages logged in SystemOut.log and SystemErr.log are also
included in the trace file. The WebSphere Application Server console is
used to filter trace messages based on two criteria:
v The severity of the message
v The origin of the message.
You can configure WebSphere Application Server with the name of the
trace file, the format of the trace file, the way that the trace file is
managed, and the type of messages that are written to the trace file. Each
WebSphere Partner Gateway application has default settings for these
configuration values.
