Enable logging

Create and set up the Feedback database. Then enable logging on the runtime server that hosts Feedback data.

Run...

following

s to create, set up, and enable logging of the Feedback database:

1. Run...
   feedback-database

   using the appropriate command:

   UNIX: ./ConfigEngine.sh feedback-database -DWasPassword=password -DInitalizeFeedbackDB=true

   Windows: ConfigEngine.bat feedback-database -DWasPassword=password -DInitalizeFeedbackDB=true

   • i5/OS: in the UserData directory: ConfigEngine.sh feedback-database -DWasPassword=password -DInitalizeFeedbackDB=true

2. Run...
   setup-feedback

   using the appropriate command:

   UNIX: ./ConfigEngine.sh setup-feedback -DWasPassword=password

   Windows: ConfigEngine.bat setup-feedback -DWasPassword=password

   i5/OS: from the directory /UserData/ConfigEngine.sh setup-feedback -DWasPassword=password

3. After you have created and configured the Feedback database, enable logging by performing the following steps:

   1. Open FeedbackService.properties from the appropriate location:

      UNIX: profile_root/PortalServer/config/config/services/

      Windows: profile_root\PortalServer\config\config\services\

      • i5/OS: in the UserData directory: PortalServer_root/config/config/services

   2. Set the property loggingEnabled to true..

   3. Restart WebSphere Portal.

• The feedback-database task will work if you have already transferred your data from the default database to another database, as long as the target database is available.

• If you intend to use the Feedback database with IBM Derby, manually create the database because it is not created during installation. However, if you run the database transfer task, the Feedback database is created; therefore, manual database creation is not needed in this case.

• If you are targeting Feedback data to the same database containing other WebSphere Portal data, you do not need to perform additional steps. However, if you are targeting a separate database from the one containing your WebSphere Portal data, configure the target database by following the procedures for setting up remote databases.
