APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/informix-servers/14.10?topic=started
  -logging-in-informixhq
  states that if provides a brief tutorial about logging for HQ
  
  The InformixHQ server and agent use the log4j2 library for
  logging. By default, the InformixHQ server and agent will log
  messages at INFO level to an informixhq-server.log file and an
  informixhq-agent.log file respectively.
  
  You can customize the logging behavior by providing a
  server.log4j.xml file in the current directory or classpath when
  starting the InformixHQ server or a agent.log4j.xml file in the
  current directory or classpath when starting the InformixHQ
  agent. Use these log4j2 configuration files to change the
  logging level (ERROR, WARN, INFO, or DEBUG), change the log file
  location, or enable rolling window logging.
  
  
   It does not   explain the logger part of the XML file.  This
  should be done, as there is an exception for the H2 database and
  changing the h2database level to INFO will lead to massive
  logging of SQL queries  in the log of the hqserver.
