Use WebSphere Application Server log files and tracing to troubleshoot problems with HCL Portal.

If your are on z/OS® , IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS has log files and a tracing function. Some of the
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS log files are in the directory AppServer_root/logs

if you enable WebSphere Application Server for z/OS tracing, depending on option
ras_trace_outputLocation, the job logs, or log streams of the
application server control and servant region contain information that might be helpful in detecting
and diagnosing problems. Check the Help Center of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS for details on how to enable tracing and
