Overview
When doing development Maximo project or supporting an existing one, a primary debugging tool are the log files. However, it can be an issue if you have multiple people trying to access the log files at the same time, and if you are trying to access the log file on a remote computer over a VPN, the performance can be terrible.
With this tool you can view the log file, page through it and search by date and text. Since the tool does not lock the log file, multiple people accessing at the same time has no affect.
This tool has been tested with the following log file format:
• Maximo 6.2, 7.1, 7.5, 7.6
• WebSphere SystemOut and SystemErr
• Weblogic server
• Tomcat Catalina and Localhost
It has been tested on the following servers:
• WebSphere (7.0.x)
• WebLogic (10.x)
• Tomcat (8.x)
It should support most log files where the date/time is the first part of each log entry. If you find a log file that it doesn't work with, please send the developer a not with a sample of the log file so it can be added.
For version 4, a lot of effort was put into making the tool more secure and easier to install. Gone are having to edit files and create folders on the server. There are now screens that help you do all the configuration. Access security is not managed by your application server. This means each user can have their own log in (no more shared password for access). These changes make this tool much more professional and secure.
