•   Thread ID : The next part in the log message is 00000012 /0000003c , which represents the thread id. The thread ID is an eight-character hexadecimal value that is generated from the hash code of the thread that issued the message

• Short name : The short name is the abbreviated name of the component that issued the message. This name is typically the class name of a WAS component and would be some other identifier for the application. here ThreadPoolMgr , FileRepositor , TCPPort etc
