IBM Portal Server System out Log format - websphere

I am searching for the default Log format of the IBM Portal Server used for the Systemout.log and SystemError.log files. I have referred many links to find it. From where Portal Server picks the Log format for the these log files?
And also Can we change this log formate?

If you go into the was admin console and go under
Application servers > WebSphere_Portal > WebSphere_Portal > JVM logs there you can pick either basic of advanced for the formatting

Obiee 12c - few ldap users fail to sign in analytics

i am using obiee 12c in production and Active Directory ldap server entegrated for authentication. almost all users are able to login analytics but few of these users cannot login. the following error appearing in the screen "The specified credentials could not be authenticated ". I tried to regenerate user GUIDs according to following documents. https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/core/BIMIG/GUID-E2ABAAA2-FFA2-453F-9C42-4F00807B4708.htm#BIMIG-GUID-E2ABAAA2-FFA2-453F-9C42-4F00807B4708
I set the BI component's log level to Finest and enable debug security option. I examined acces log, bi server diagnostic log and sawlog files, but i can not see any log that contains any failure information about the failed LDAP user.
Could you help me about this problem, thanks.
a) That link is invalid since GUIDs do not exist anymore. The documentation shouldn't include that step anymore.
b) Logging the BI components won't show you anything. You need to up up the OPSS logging.

Daily rolling log file in Websphere Liberty (16.0.0.4-WS-LIBERTY-CORE)

How to create a daily rolling log file in Websphere Liberty? I want the name of the log file to have YYYYMMDD format.
Currently I'm only able to limit the max file size, max file and a static naming of messages.log and disable consolelog.
<logging consoleLogLevel="OFF" maxFileSize="1" maxFiles="3" messageFileName="loggingMessages.log"/>

WebSphere Liberty does not currently have the ability to schedule log file rotation like traditional WAS. You can request this feature using the RFE site.
Alternatively, you could use an approach like Bruce mentioned - perhaps using a cron job to restart the server at midnight.
You might also consider configuring Liberty's binary logging. This will create a binary log file that can be queried to produce actual log files (with filtering options, etc.). It does have some time-based options. More info here.
Hope this helps, Andy
Probably not the answer you want, but if you restart the server it will roll the log.

Logging for two different environment logs in to a single log file

I am quite new for log4j2 logger and my requirement to write a log from application server and web server.
I am having two different environment on which J BOSS server is deployed.
Now I am having a log file on web server environment which is writing logs for errors and I want to write logs from application server also in same file.
Please suggest.
If you want the logs to be integrated together you should use a solution like Splunk or Elastic Search/Logstash/Kibana (ELK).
When you try to write to a file from 2 different processes your file will get corrupted unless you use file locking. However, your throughput will decrease significantly and it isn't supported for rolling files. So the best approach is to send the logs to a single process where they can be aggregated.

Start Websphere Application Server but not loading any application

Is there any way that we can start Websphere Application Server but not loading any applications installed on it?
Environment: websphere 7.0
I didn't find a command line tool method for doing this, but you can edit the deployment.xml files underneath each WAR/EAR file that you want to stop from auto-starting when Websphere starts up.
These deployment.xml files are located typically here:
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/<my profile>/config/cells/<my cell>/applications/<my .ear>/deployments/<my app>/deployment.xml
Within this file is this XML snippet:
<targetMappings xmi:id="DeploymentTargetMapping_1499739616851" enable="true" target="ServerTarget_1499739616851"/>
Change the enable=true to enable=false for every EAR/WAR that you don't want to auto-start. Once done start WAS as you'd normally do so.

If you mean not starting installed applications, this is controlled through Administrative Console in Enterprise Applications > your_app > Target specific application status. There you can enable or disable auto start.

How do i take Logs for windows application?

I am working on an application in Windows 7 environment and the application is not stable yet I wanted to see the crash logs , Please help me to get log files.
Reporting Services writes event messages to the Windows application
log. You can use the message information written to the application
log to find out about events that are generated by the report server
applications running on the local system.
Reporting Services provides three event sources:
Report Server (Report Server Windows service)
Report Manager
Scheduling and Delivery Processor
Source
You can use Log4Net to log errors or alternatively just write your errors to a text file.
Here is a link on how to use log4net Link
