APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The MAM Interim Fix Build 020 includes the log4j remediation
  which introduces this issue.
  The pattern implemented for the log level is minimum 5 places,
  as such that any log level token shorter, shows trailing spaces
  because of the square brackets placed around the log level.
  
  
  This issue impacts customers/Business Partners who use
  automated tools to analyse the logs.
  The extra space could cause the analyser process to fail to pick
  up the entry.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  Install Maximo 7.6.1.2 Build 020 IFIX:
  TPAE_7612_IFIX.20220426-1324.im.zip
  
  RESULTS:
  The log level is showing with an additional space [INFO ] in the
  System log files.
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  
  The log level should remain as [INFO]
