    client_ras_logstreamname=name

    Name of the log stream for an application client run-time to use for error information.

    Default: If this variable is not specified, the client run-time uses SYSOUT.

    Example:

     client_ras_logstreamname=MY.CLIENT.ERROR.LOG
    

    Do not put the log stream name in quotes. Log stream names are not data set names.


    ras_default_msg_dd=DD_card_name

    Redirects write-to-operator (WTO) messages that use the default routing to hardcopy. These messages are redirected to the location identified through the DD card on the server's JCL start procedure. These WTO messages are primarily messages that WAS for z/OS issues during initialization.

    Default: No default value is set; WTO messages that use default routing are sent to hardcopy.

    Examples:

     ras_default_msg_dd=MSGDD
    
     ras_default_msg_dd=DFLTLOG
    
    Example of the DFLTLOG DD card on the server's JCL start procedure:
    
    //DFLTLOG    DD   SYSOUT=*
    
    


    ras_hardcopy_msg_dd=DD_card_name

    Redirects write-to-operator (WTO) messages that the product routes to hardcopy. These messages are redirected to the location identified through the DD card on the server's JCL start procedure. These WTO messages are primarily audit messages issued from Java code during initialization.

    Default: No default value is set; WTO messages that use hardcopy routing are sent to hardcopy.

    Example:

     ras_hardcopy_msg_dd=MSGDD
    


    ras_log_logstreamName

    Log stream that the produce uses for error information during bootstrap processing. If the specified log stream is not found, or not accessible, a message is issued and errors are written to the server's job log.

    Default: If this variable is not specified, the product uses SYSOUT.

    Example:

     ras_log_logstreamName=MY.CB.ERROR.LOG
    

    Do not put the log stream name in quotes. Log stream names are not data set names.
