When using IBM WebSphere as the application server for SAS BI Dashboard, many messages might be written to the WebSphere log. Following is an example.

[8/20/09 9:46:56:167 EDT] 0000006f HttpMethodDir I org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector
isRedirectNeeded Redirect requested but followRedirects is disabled
[8/20/09 9:46:56:180 EDT] 0000006f HTTPSender I org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPSender sendViaPost
Unable to sendViaPost to url[http://server:9080/SASBIDashboard/services/CandidateIndicatorListService]
    org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Transport error:
302 Error: Found
	at
org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPSender.handleResponse(HTTPSender.java:298)

To eliminate these messages, you can modify the logging level in the WebSphere Admin Console. Here are the steps to change the logging level:

1. In the WAS Admin Console, navigate to Troubleshooting ► Logs and trace ► SASServer1 ► Change log detail levels.

Note: There are two tabs under Change log detail levels: Configuration and Runtime. Making the following changes on the Runtime tab will apply the change to the current runtime instance without requiring a restart of the SASServer1. Making the changes on the Configuration tab will save the update to the master configuration, so that it takes effect on future restarts. To edit both, go to the Runtime tab and check Save runtime changes to configuration as well.

2. Expand the * [All Components] tree and scroll down to the org.apache... package listing.
3. For each of the following classes, click on the classname, select Message and Trace Levels, and adjust the logging level as follows:
• Set org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPSender to warning
  
• Set org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector to warning
4. Click Apply and then select Save to the master configuration.

In addition, these are two other messages that are commonly shown in the log:

[5/25/10 18:11:25:180 EDT] 000154a6 AuthChallenge I
org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthChallengeProcessor selectAuthScheme basic
authentication scheme selected

[5/25/10 18:11:25:188 EDT] 000154b9 SRTServletRes W   WARNING: Cannot set
status. Response already committed.

As described above, these messages can also be suppressed by adjusting the WebSphere logging level for the following additional packages:

• Set org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthChallengeProcessor to warning
• Set com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srt.SRTServletResponse to severe

These messages should not have any functional impact on SAS BI Dashboard.
