(ZOS) Error log stream record output

This article provides two samples of error log stream output and explains the various attributes they contain.

There are two error log stream records:

If we do not want the message tag to be included in the error log output:

  1. In the administrative console, click Environment > WebSphere variables.

  2. Select the appropriate scope> New.

  3. Enter ras_error_log_version in the Name field and 2 in the Value field.

  4. Save and synchronize changes, and then stop, and restart the server.

If we do not want the message tag and the name of the cell, node, and cluster to be included in the error log output:

  1. In the administrative console, click Environment > WebSphere variables.

  2. Select the appropriate scope> New.

  3. Enter ras_error_log_version in the Name field and 1 in the Value field.

  4. Save and synchronize changes, and then stop, and restart the server.

Sample output from a server logstream: The numbers to the left of each sample were added to specify lines. The numbers will not be in the actual output.

The log stream record output fields from stream BBO.BOSSXXXX are:

Sample output from CERR of a server:

 Saving your BBORBLOG browser output


 When we use the BBORBLOG browser, it creates a data set with your user
ID, followed by the log stream name. We should rename it if you wish
to save your browser output. The contents of the current view of the log stream will remain until the stream reaches its retention date.
The next time you invoke the browser; however, the current view of
the log stream will be deleted because it uses the same data set name.
The previous data will exist in another record, not the current view,
until its retention date.
