IT36911: LOG4J.PROPERTIES FILE IN INTEGRATION SERVER WORK DIRECTORY NOT BEING USED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In order to enable logging of the connection between ACE and
  Kafka, users should be able to create a log4j.properties file in
  either: the work directory of the integration server or the work
  directory of the integration node for node managed servers, or
  for independent integration servers in it's work directory.
  These files are not being located correctly, and instead only
  the log4j.properties file from the installation directory is
  being used currently.
