How to enable debug on AEWS Autosys Web Server?

Resolution

1) Backup $AUTOUSER/log4j.xml

2) Edit original $AUTOUSER/log4j.xml

3) Change appropriate loggers below (based on requirement of what component is being debugged), to debug

Below example shows debug on  Command (wrapper), web services, security 

<!-- Web service query Logging -->
   <logger name="com.ca.waae.wsquery" >
         <level value="warn" />
   </logger>

   <!-- Instance startup Logging -->
   <logger name="com.ca.waae.aehome" >
         <level value="warn" />
   </logger>

   <!-- Post event audit Logging -->
   <logger name="com.ca.waae.audit" >
         <level value="warn" />
   </logger>

   <!-- Configuration Logging -->
   <logger name="com.ca.waae.config" >
      <level value="warn" />
   </logger>

   <!-- Common routine Logging -->
   <logger name="com.ca.waae.common" >
      <level value="warn" />
   </logger>

   <!-- Security Logging -->
   <logger name="com.ca.waae.security" >
         <level value="debug" />
   </logger>

   <!-- Database access Logging -->
   <logger name="com.ca.waae.dbaccess" >
         <level value="warn" />
   </logger>

   <!-- Metadata Logging -->
   <logger name="com.ca.waae.metadata" >
         <level value="warn" />
   </logger>

   <!-- command utils Logging -->
   <logger name="com.ca.waae.cmd" >
         <level value="DEBUG" />
   </logger>

   <!-- High level web service Logging -->
   <logger name="com.ca.waae.ws" >
         <level value="DEBUG" />
   </logger>

 

 

4) Change the root level to DEBUG to

<root>
      <level value="DEBUG" />

 

5) Save the file,  changes are dynamic and read per the log4j refresh interval

 

waae_webservices_wrapper.log

waae_webservices.log

 

The above two files would now contain additional information

 

 

Make sure to revert these changes once you are done troubleshooting.

 

Additional Information

For AutosysCommandWrapper to spit out some additional information to WCC's ECLI tab, when a command is run,  

$AUTOUSER/webserver/conf/wrapper.conf

Identify the line that looks like:

wrapper.java.additional.10=-Dautosys.command.exe=AutoSysCommandWrapper

 

Add a -t  at the end so it looks like:

wrapper.java.additional.10=-Dautosys.command.exe=AutoSysCommandWrapper -t

 

## For Windows 

wrapper.java.additional.10=-Dautosys.command.exe="AutoSysCommandWrapper -t"

 

Save the file and restart AEWS

 

 

 

 

 

For AEWS JIL or JIL verify operations, you need this in trace and not debug

 

   <!-- command utils Logging -->
   <logger name="com.ca.waae.cmd" >
         <level value="trace" />
   </logger>

   <!-- High level web service Logging -->
   <logger name="com.ca.waae.ws" >
         <level value="trace" />
   </logger>

   <root>
      <level value="debug" />
