Optional Debug Logging Configurations

PPM Web services debug logging can be enabled and disabled. See the following sections for information on enabling and disabling debug logging.

Enabling Debug Logging for Web Services

Debug logging is only needed to help troubleshoot serious problems.

By default, debug logging is disabled.

To enable Web services logging, complete the following steps:

Open the <PPM_Home>/conf/logging.conf file for edit.
Change the logging threshold by verifying (or modifying) the following setting:

com.kintana.core.logging.SYSTEM_THRESHOLD = DEBUG

If you change the value, make note of its current setting.
Enable the logging level for Web services by adding (or modifying) the following setting.

com.kintana.core.logging.PRODUCT_FUNCTION_LOGGING_LEVEL = com.mercury.itg.ws, DEBUG
Save and close the logging.conf file.
Stop, then restart the PPM Server.

Once your troubleshooting is complete, Web service debug logging should be disabled.

To disable Web services logging, complete the following steps:

Open the <PPM_Home>/conf/logging.conf file for edit.
If you changed the logging threshold in Step 2 of "Enabling Debug Logging for Web Services", re-instate the previous setting. This parameter is typically set as follows:

com.kintana.core.logging.SYSTEM_THRESHOLD = ERROR
Disable the logging level for Web services by commenting out the parameter as follows:

# com.kintana.core.logging.PRODUCT_FUNCTION_LOGGING_LEVEL = com.mercury.itg.ws, DEBUG
Save and close the logging.conf file.
Stop, then restart the PPM Server.
