Logging REST responses

We can log REST responses after requests are made.

Procedure

1. Open the wc-attribute-masking.xml file for editing:

   • workspace_dir/WC/xml/config/wc-attribute-masking.xml

   • (Developer) workspace_dir/wc/xml/config/wc-attribute-masking.xml

2. Find the following line:

   <wc:MaskedAttribute compareType="starts" name="outbound"/> 

3. Replace it with the following line, which comments out the line by adding <!-- and --> blocks around it:

   <!-- wc:MaskedAttribute compareType="starts" name="outbound"/--> 

4. Restart the server.

5. Enable the trace for REST features by specifying the following trace string in the WebSphere Application Server administration console:

   "com.ibm.commerce.foundation.rest.providers.*=all"

   The log file is in the following directory:

   • (AIX) (Linux) (Windows) WAS_installdir/profiles/instance_name/logs/server1

   • (IBM i) WAS_userdir/profiles/instance_name/logs/server1

   • (Developer) WCDE_installdir/wasprofiles/logs/server1
