E9.2 Enterprise Server and User Specific Log File Configuration

[ONYX]

Hi All,
Just wondering whether it is possible to enable jdedebug.log for a particular jde user on enterprise server?
I am trying to log all business function calls for a specific user that is calling bssv's.
Looking at the documentation it doesn't look it's possible, chatgpt is telling me otherwise

Enterprise server doc

Administration Guide

You can use the enterprise server jdedebug.log to determine the point in time when normal execution stopped. The system does not use jdedebug.log to track errors. Instead, it uses this log to track the timing of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne processes. The log contains API calls and SQL statements as...

Server Manager Guide

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HTML Web Server supports user-specific log definitions. Any activity by the configured user is logged to the corresponding file as configured. Creating and modifying a user-specific log definition is nearly identical to creating a regular log definition.

Depending on your Tools Release, from 9.2.8 on you have an option called User Logging, which is just below the one you linked in Server Manager Guide

Server Manager Guide

Starting with Tools Release 9.2.8, you can enable user-level logs for all the HTML and AIS server managed instances, the user is connected to, using User Logging in the Server Manager Console. You can also enable user logs for CallObject Kernels of EnterpriseOne servers from the same location...

Just don't forget to switch off once done. Damned things will fill up your disk faster than a barman pulls a pint.

Well, it doesn't look like user specific log configuration is possible on enterprise server TR 9.2.8.
Oracle doc is not making it more clear and we don't have "User Specific Log File Configuration" for Enterprise Server in Server Manager.
"User Specific Log File Configuration" is there for AIS and HTML server's, though.
We are on EnterpriseOne Server Manager Management Console Version 9.2.8.1

Interesting! This is a 9.2.8.2 SVM with 9.2.8.2 Enterprise Server and this is what it looks like for me - and it also works very well!


Is it a possibility to go to 9.2.8.2 with just the SVM? That might be worth a try. Otherwise, what is your Enterprise Server's platform and is the rest of the communication working as expected? Metrics, Logs etc. etc.

Thanks, MFreitag

We stuck with the old version of Server Manager for another 3-4 months.
I ended up creating a bsfn to toggle jdedebug.log on server and retrieving appropriate log file from server knowing the kernel/process.
This is even more flexible, now I can run bssv's / app's and toggle jdedebug.log on the fly when needed.

// get logging status
jdeGetTraceStatus();

// get kernel
lIpcPid = jdeGetPid();

// enable logging
changeLogSettingsNoINI(_J("Output"), 1);

// disable logging
changeLogSettingsNoINI(_J("Output"), 0);
