Hi
We have recently upgraded our websphere server from 6.1 to 7.0 and decided to also migrate our MyEclipse version to the latest Blue edition for WAS7 support.
In websphere, we set up the JVM systemOut and systemErr logging to be written to the console, which was perfectly caught in the MyEclipse console using the websphere 6.1 connector. With the new Websphere 7 connector, the server is started in a different manner and the standard output from WAS is no longer automatically caught by the MyEclipse console…
After some searching and testing, we figured out that you now have to point the JVM SystemOut and JVM SystemErr log properties in the instance settings of the server to the respective outputfiles created by WAS (native_stdout.log & native_stderr.log for console logging) and you then get 2 consoles from your server instance: 1 with the start/stop logging and 1 with the contents of the stdout & stderr logs, which you have to manually select with the “display selected console” listbox in the console view….
So now for my questions:
1) Why does the WAS7 connector not automatically capture the WAS console output like the WAS6.1 connector. Can this be changed?
2) Why do you get 2 consoles with the WAS7 connector or is there a way to merge these 2 consoles into 1?
Thanks for the info
