Changing the configured logging infrastructure, using the administrative console

Use this task to change the state observer logging for the task history, audit log, or common event infrastructure logging for the configuration.

Choices made on the Configuration tab are activated the next time the server is started. The chosen settings remain in effect whenever the server is started.

Make changes to the configuration, as follows:


Procedure

  1. Display the Business Flow Manager or Human Task Manager pane.

    1. Click either Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application server clusters > cluster_name or Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name, then on the Configuration tab, in the Business Integration section, expand Business Process Choreographer.

    2. Choose one of the following options:

      • For BPEL processes, click Business Flow Manager.

      • For human tasks, click Human Task Manager.

  2. On the Configuration tab, in the General Properties section, select the logging to be enabled. The state observers are independent of each other:

    Enable Common Event Infrastructure logging

    Select this check box to enable event emission that is based on the Common Event Infrastructure.

    Enable audit logging

    Select this check box to store the audit log events in the audit trail tables of the Business Process Choreographer database.

    Enable task history

    This option is only available for the Human Task Manager. Select this check box to display task history data in Business Space, or to retrieve task history data using the Task Instance History Representational State Transfer (REST) interface.

  3. Accept the change.

    1. Click OK.

    2. In the Messages box, click Save.

  4. To enable IBM Business Monitor to monitor Service Component Architecture events, you must set a custom property.

    1. In the administrative console, click Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application server clusters > cluster_name or Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name, then under Business Integration, expand Business Process Choreographer, and click Business Flow Manager > Custom Properties.

    2. Click New to add a new custom property.

    3. Enter the name Compat.SCAMonitoringForBFMAPI and the value true.
    4. Save the changes. The setting will be activated the next time that you restart the server.


Results

The state observers are set, as you required.


What to do next

Restart the server, to activate the changes. If Business Process Choreographer is configured on a cluster, restart the cluster.
