RTEMS IBInterface doStageTwoProcess messages to be sent to the MSG2 log

Currently the Stage 2 messages are sent to the RTEMS RAS log, which roll and are overwritten the frequency and speed of which is determined by the amount of tracing that is enabled.

These messages :

 (64D867A4.0008-7:ko4crtsq.cpp,6936,"IBInterface::doStageTwoProcess") Begin stage 2 processing. Database and IB Cache synchronization with the hub

(64D867A4.000A-7:ko4crtsq.cpp,7151,"IBInterface::doStageTwoProcess") End stage 2 processing. Database and IB Cache synchronization with the hub with return code: 0

 Are crucial in understanding and diagnosing issues and the current state of the environment.

There are times where connectivity drops between the RTEMS and the HUB and this triggers the Stage2 re-sync this can happen repeatedly and the only way to determine if this is happening and when the environment is stable and in the correct state is via these messages.

Also during Infrastructure activity it is important to make sure all FTO and stage 2 activity has completed as well as agent failover before we restart or failover any Hubs or RTEMS and it is difficult to determine if the RAS logs have rolled.

 Having these messages sent to the MSG2 log will mean that they are persisted and can be used to reference the current and historical state of the RTEMS “Readiness” to manage the TEMA’s attached.

This would also bring the RTEMS inline with the HUB FTO that currently writes FTO states to the MSG2 log eg: KQM0009
