Configure the logging infrastructure for the session, using the administrative console

Use this task to change the state observer logging for the task history, audit log, or common event infrastructure logging for the session.

Choices made on the Runtime tab are effective immediately.


Procedure

  1. Display the Business Flow Manager or Human Task Manager pane.

    1. Click either Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application server clusters > cluster_name or Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name, then on the Configuration tab, in the Business Integration section, expand Business Process Choreographer.

    2. Choose one of the following options:

      • For BPEL processes, click Business Flow Manager.

      • For human tasks, click Human Task Manager.

  2. On the Runtime tab, in the General Properties section, select the logging to be enabled. The state observers are independent of each other:

    Enable Common Event Infrastructure logging

    Select this check box to enable event emission that is based on the Common Event Infrastructure.

    Enable audit logging

    Select this check box to store the audit log events in the audit trail tables of the Business Process Choreographer database.

    Enable task history

    This option is only available for the Human Task Manager. Select this check box to display task history data in Business Space, or to retrieve task history data using the Task Instance History Representational State Transfer (REST) interface.

  3. To enable IBM Business Monitor to monitor Service Component Architecture events, you must set a custom property.

    1. In the administrative console, click Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application server clusters > cluster_name or Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name, then under Business Integration, expand Business Process Choreographer, and click Business Flow Manager > Custom Properties.

    2. Click New to add a new custom property.

    3. Enter the name Compat.SCAMonitoringForBFMAPI and the value true.

  5. Click OK to accept the change.
