Server log file not getting rollover

[devexpert]

Hi Experts,

Offlate I have got into a problem where IS server log is not getting rollover at the end of the day (wm version 7.1.2). Initially the entires were getting lost, hence we install SCG_Core_Fix_2 to fix the issue so whenever the log failover is failing the logs are not being lost now but its being written to same log file.

Rotation action is set properly as “rename”.

watt.server.logRotate=rename

Changed the logging of log rotation program but has not got any informative input from there, please suggest if you guys have any clue or faces similar problems.

Uhmm take a look to http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/webmethods/wmsuite8_ga/readme/IntegrationServer_8-0_SP1_readme.pdf (Maybe get readme for 7.1.2 but I think it is the same).

Here you can see watt.server.logRotate is deprecated and not used.
Also notice:

WSI-556 (was 1-1X6L7D)
Log file roll-over failure results in loss of server.log data.
The server log is rolled over at midnight. When the server log rolls over, the logger writes existing log data to a backup file and writes new log data to a new server.log file. In some cases, however, writing log data to the backup file fails. If this happens, a new server.log file is still created but the existing log data is lost.
There is currently no workaround for this issue.

No idea what is the replacement for logRotate, interesting to know the answer

yes, infact to fix was release to reslove the log lost problem

This fix addresses the following issue:
Trax 1-X4VS7; Log file rotation failure results in loss of ‘server.log’
files.

SCG_Core_Fix_1.

and that interesting to see, that in 8.x these properties are depreciated
so me too curious to know what they have introduced to handle the log rollover mechanism.

Moreover: I can’t able to figure why failover is faling, can’t see anything on server log at midnight (rollover time).
