Add Context Variables in log entries

Goal: Technical

Developers: Nicolas Micoud, Hengsin, Carlos Ruiz

Tester: Norbert Bede

Sponsor: TGI

Description:

It is now possible to use any Context Variables in the log.

You just need to add a VM argument ( eg: -Dorg.idempiere.FileLogPrefix=@#AD_Client_Name@/lang=@#AD_Language@/@#AD_User_Name@ ) to get those additional information in logs. IMPORTANT NOTE: do not use quotes when defining the variable in setup or idempiereEnv.properties

So instead of 14:28:25.889===========> DB.saveError: SaveErrorNotUnique - ERREUR: la valeur d'une clé dupliquée rompt la contrainte unique « c_bpartner_value » You can easily get 14:23:01.335===========> GardenWorld/lang=en_US/SuperUser DB.saveError: SaveErrorNotUnique - ERREUR: la valeur d'une clé dupliquée rompt la contrainte unique « c_bpartner_value » and understand who has generated the entry.

Changing on the fly:

The parameter can be changed on the fly too from the OSGi console, to do that you need to go to the OSGi console:

in eclipse is the Console tab
in a server environment is usually accessible running telnet localhost 12612

Within the OSGi console you can set the variable with: setprop org.idempiere.FileLogPrefix="@#AD_Client_Name@/lang=@#AD_Language@/@#AD_User_Name@->"

And reset it back to not use it anymore with: setprop org.idempiere.FileLogPrefix=""
