Organizing Logging Between the Three IBM App Connect Form Factors

The App Connect product enables you to integrate anything to anything. Its core routing and transformation engine enables you to inspect and transform messages from a wide variety of industry-standard and custom message models. But with great power can come complexity! Being generic and having the ability to run your integration flows on different form factors can give you a lot of options. This article aims to help you coordinate your logging strategy across these different form factors and to clarify where and how you can get access to the more common form of logging across all the form factors. 

Form Factors

The App Connect runtime runs on 3 distinct form factors, all capable of running BAR files containing Integration Flows. These BARs can be moved between each form factor. You can create a BAR file using the ACE Toolkit or the App Connect Designer UI.
