Use a variable for fileName in log4j

DBOUAKKAZ — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 23:54:46 GMT

Hello everyone,

I want to keep the log4j output in a file for each job. Is it possible to use a variable with the pattern "jobname_date_hour" for example ?

I tried to put in a TpreJob ====> tjava :

System.setProperty("logFilename", filename);

Where file name is a variable with the full path to the log file.

And added this in Project Settings ===> log4j :

</File>

But i get this error :

ERROR FileManager (${sys:logFilename}) java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Is there a different way to assign the variable ?

Hi @Djallel BOUAKKAZ ,

My log4j xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</Console>

</PatternLayout>

</File>

</Appenders>

</Root>

</Loggers>

</Configuration>

at the begining of the job in a tjava :

Advanced settings tab :

import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext;

import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;

in the basic settings :

String taljob = System.getProperty("TalendJob.log");

System.setProperty("TalendJob.log","C:\\coucou2.log");

org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext ctx =(org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);

ctx.reconfigure();

System.setProperty("TalendJob.log",taljob);

Send me love and kudos

at the end of the job you can delete the file in your workspace\ your job name \poms\jobs\process\your jobname + version\src\main\ext-resources

created at the begining of the job with sys:TalendJob.

you can get the full path with :

System.getProperty("TalendJob.log")

TFileDelete:

File Name : System.getProperty("TalendJob.log")

an other solution is to just make tfilecopy of the System.getProperty("TalendJob.log") file

Thank you so much for your answer I'm able to generate the file with the pattern I was looking for but I'm still getting this error :
