APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

In WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V7.0, the Error log
stream record output format changed to accomodate the following
additional fields:
"CELL","NODE","CLUSTER"
.
To distinguish this new format from the earlier format, the
"2-digit record version number" should be updated.
.
Below is an example of the Error log stream record output
format in V7.0:
.
In WAS7:
2008/11/19 22:17:46.325 01 SYSTEM=ATZ3013 CELL=BBOCELL
NODE=BBONODE CLUSTER=BBOC001 SERVER=BBOS001  JobName=BBOS001S
ASID=0X0053
PID=0X0200025E TID=0X00000045 0XCCDF70CC c=./bbgrjtr.cpp at
line:+886 ... WARNING: Cannot set header. Response already
committed.
.
In WAS 6.1:
2008/11/18 20:41:49.898 01 SYSTEM=NMP146 SERVER=W611S01
JobName=W611S01 ASID=0X0045 PID=0X05000145 TID=0000000000
0X82F8E74           c=./bbgrjtr.cpp at line:+952 ...  BBOO0222I:
TRAS0028I: The trace output is stored
.
Note that the fields Cell, Node and Cluster are missing from the
pre 6.1 example.
.
The table below shows a breakdown of all the fields:

Local fix

To disable the new fields, you can set the following environment
variable:
Name : private_bborlog_include_extra_server_info
Value: 0
.
This can be set using the admin console:
Environment > WebSphere variables
 - Choose the scope needed, and click New to define the
variable.
Save and synchronize changes, and recycle the server.
