APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • If there is Java exception issued by OSGI code, log is created
in the file system with the name <number>.log. The default locat
ions:
WAS_HOME/configuration
WAS_HOME/profiles/*/configuration
WAS_HOME/profiles/*/servers/*/configuration

However, these files are not being captured by the collector
tool on z/OS.
This is because ProfileRoot variable is null, so profile's
configuration directories are not collected.

Local fix

  • n/a
