Problem summary


    

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server                                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: There is currently a maximum limit of   *
*                      200 on the number of files              *
*                      that can set for historical             *
*                      SystemOut.log / SystemErr.log files     *
*                      inside the Administrative Console.      *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The Administrative Console UI limits the number of files that
can be set for SystemOut.log/SystemErr.log files as 200, and
it is not recommended for users to change the maximum
historical file property in the server.xml due to possible
synchronization issues.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • This limit has been removed in the Administrative Console so
users can set the value of maximum number of files to any
integer greater than 0.

The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
