Remove entries from the transaction partner log
We can remove entries from the transaction partner log file.
To do this, set the REMOVE_PARTNER_LOG_ENTRY custom property for the transaction service on the server that owns the partner log. As part of the transaction recovery process, the partner log is checked to establish which resources are needed. To remove certain entries from the partner log, such as a resource that no longer exists, set this custom property on the application server that owns the transaction partner log containing the entries to remove.
The REMOVE_PARTNER_LOG_ENTRY custom property is effective only when both of the following situations apply.
- The application server is started in recovery mode.
- The application server has no transactions that currently require recovery. We can establish this by checking the SystemOut.log file.
With WAS v8 you can configure the server to use the HPEL log and trace infrastructure instead of using SystemOut.log , SystemErr.log, trace.log, and activity.log files or native z/OS logging facilities. If you are using HPEL, you can access all of your log and trace information using $PROFILE/bin/LogViewer.sh.
