Display transaction recovery audit messages
We can choose whether information messages are displayed on the administrative console and written to the SystemOut.log file upon transaction service recovery. To do this, set the DISABLE_RECOVERY_AUDIT_LOGGING custom property for the transaction service for the server.
IBM recommends using the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and trace infrastructure . We view HPEL log and trace information using the logViewer .
On distributed platforms the default is for information messages to appear both on the administrative console and in the SystemOut.log file during the recovery of transaction services. If we do not want these messages to be displayed we can use the DISABLE_RECOVERY_AUDIT_LOGGING custom property.
(ZOS) On z/OS information messages do not appear by default, either on the administrative console or in the SystemOut.log file during the recovery of transaction services. If we want these messages displayed we can use the DISABLE_RECOVERY_AUDIT_LOGGING custom property.
On z/OS, if we choose to turn on transaction recovery audit messages, other audit messages (such as those relating to servant recovery and XA resource recovery) are also displayed in the console and the SystemOut.log file.
