Improve quality and trackability of (outgoing) HTTP system log error messages

  • Currently it is difficult to track a failed http message back to a case, because there are no shared ID between those logs. Best option you have is using the timestamps. Please provide an option to put a HTTP Message ID used in the System Log in the Audit Log or even better a Case ID into the system log.

  • Please fix APAR 0811 and optimize the content of event 361 to something useful and do not lure users to search for non existing files.

  • Provide at least the complete HTTP Status Response and not "some error has occured" in event 477. And also put in an ID to relate to an actual message. It is a useless message for an important error.

  • Provide an option to "find and debug" failed messages while sending. It is difficult to retrieve messages from the EML folder when they are rotating around the cluster. Perhaps you can output them to the filesystem in error cases.

  • Provide an option to discern regularly archived messages from finally failed http messages, perhaps logging them into a different folder.
