28.9 Monitoring Adapter Logs

Oracle Fusion Middleware components generate log files containing messages that record all types of events, including startup and shutdown information, errors, warning messages, access information on HTTP requests, and additional information. There is only one log for all Oracle JCA Adapters, and the log is called oracle.soa.adapter.

To monitor the File adapter logs:

1. Navigate to Composite Home, J2EE Application (menu), Monitoring, Logs.

2. Find the oracle.soa.adapter logger for adapters and increase verbosity.

3. Find resulting log files.

4. Make an adapter to fail. For example, delete a directory that the file adapter is supposed to write to, or delete a table that the Database adapter is reading from.

5. Ensure that the resulting log files give a good indication of the cause of failure.

For information about configuring logs, see Section 3.4, "Configuring Log Files."
