Separate log file per job execution

Question

I have a batch process(Spring batch), I want to create separate log file per batch execution, so that it will be easy for us to debug the entire flow using this single log file. Is there a way to achieve it. We are using log4j for logging across .

Answer 1

I think you can store dynamic log file name as a job parameter or into execution context and set log4j filename programmatically like described here using a JobExecutionListener .
I don't know how achive the same goal using log4j XML config and log4j properties substitution because I have never used log4j too much.
