[I want to print log statement for test rule which I have created from backend.The logs should not print in log file where the workflow trace logs is present, rule logs should print in another file. How can we achieve it in IIQ? The attached log file is for workflow trace]

Hi @Shalaka_Gawande,

you can use the logger of log4j. In this file you add the logger and the appender. The logger define the property of the file(name, path, rotacion, etc…) and the appender define the level of the logs that you print and the name of logger.

Example

Appender

appender.ruleutility.type=File
appender.ruleutility.name=ruleutility
appender.ruleutility.fileName=/opt/tomcat/logs/Rule.log
appender.ruleutility.filePattern=/opt/tomcat/logs/Rule.%i.log
appender.ruleutility.layout.type=PatternLayout
appender.ruleutility.layout.pattern=%d{ISO8601} %5p %t %c{4}:%L - %m%n
appender.ruleutility.policies.type=Policies
appender.ruleutility.policies.size.type=SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy
appender.ruleutility.policies.size.size=100MB
appender.ruleutility.strategy.type=DefaultRolloverStrategy
appender.ruleutility.strategy.max=5

Logger

logger.ruleutility.name=com.ig.Rule
logger.ruleutility.level=debug
logger.ruleutility.appenderRef.ruleutility.ref=ruleutility
logger.ruleutility.additivity=false

this configuration will generate a file called Rule.log into /opt/tomcat/logs and every time the file size group up 100Mb starts the rotation.

In you rules everytime you use this logger:
Log log = LogFactory.getLog("com.ig.Rule");
the logs will be printed into the new file.
