I was trying to debug an issue with Active Directory Connector customization. Wanted to turn the debug logs on but logging.xml file was getting overwritten after a restart of OIM managed servers. Found the issue and documented some notes below.
OIM documentation for setting detailed logging for connectors etc is posted here. OIM used weblogic Oracle Diagnostic Logging (ODL) feature. Primary components of this feature are message types and levels, log handler and logger configurations.
Instead of updating logging.xml on the managed server in a standalone install, updates such as below must be made on the admin server configuration files. Ofcourse this requires managed servers to be restarted for immediate effect. An example is given below:
file location of the admin server of clsuter in my case:
/kpsoftfileshare/orafmw/admin/IDMDomain/adminserver/IDMDomain/config/fmwconfig/servers/wls_oim1
/kpsoftfileshare/orafmw/admin/IDMDomain/adminserver/IDMDomain/config/fmwconfig/servers/wls_oim2
take a backup of logging.xml and update with components as below. In this case i used AD connector logging handlers.
in the log_handler section:
<log_handler name='adcs-handler' level='TRACE:32' class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'>
<property name='logreader:' value='off'/>
<property name='path' value='${domain.home}/servers/${weblogic.Name}/logs/ActiveDirectory.log'/>
<property name='format' value='ODL-Text'/>
<property name='useThreadName' value='true'/>
<property name='locale' value='en'/>
<property name='maxFileSize' value='5242880'/>
<property name='maxLogSize' value='52428800'/>
<property name='encoding' value='UTF-8'/>
</log_handler>
in the loggers section:
<logger name="OIMCP.ADCS" level="TRACE:32" useParentHandlers="false">
<handler name="adcs-handler"/>
<handler name="console-handler"/>
</logger>
