PM80667: ALLOW LIMITS TO THE AMOUNT OF LOGS PRODUCED BY POST INSTALLER

Subscribe

You can track all active APARs for this component.

 

APAR status

  • Closed as new function.

Error description

  • Currently there is no limit on how many logs can be created by
    the post installer. This can cause problems on systems with
    limited space, especially that of z/os where it is not as easy
    to expand the available space.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server V8.0 and V8.5                        *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Post installer log files infinitely     *
    *                      grow                                    *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When the post installer component runs on server startup time,
    a log is produced even when no maintenance has been applied.
    Although the log files are small in size, in time it could
    cause a problem on systems with limited storage space
    available. This is especially an issue on z/os where the
    available space cannot be easily expandable.
    

Problem conclusion

  • An option has been added to the wasprofile.properties file to
    determine a criteria for how many logs to keep around from post
    installer.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.0.0.6 and the fix pack following 8.5.0.2.  Please
