Auto create sub folders for capturing MAS Manage cron logs

MAS Manage doesn't create the folders mentioned in logfile parameter of the Maximo cron tasks.

MAS Manage has different Cron tasks in OOB and custom cron tasks. Each cron task can be configured to populate the logs to different files under different sub directories. But if the user gives a non-existing folder reference, Maximo will not create those folders. The prerequisite is that the folder hierarchy should be created  prior to giving the folder reference in the logfile parameter of the Cron instance. But In MAS, if we manually create the desired folder in the Maximo pods, those folders are deleted every time the pod restarts. 

If Maximo framework can auto create the folders (if not already present) mentioned in the logfile parameter of the cron task, then  even if pod restarts, the cron log folders will be recreated.

To better understand the problem, say customer has given a logfile parameter as (/logs/reorder/reordercron.log) for Reorder Cron task. MAS  Manage doesn't auto create the folder /reorder under  /logs folder. In system log, we see error "File or Folder  doesn't exist". If Maximo can auto create the folder /reorder under /logs folder and create the file reordercron.log then I think it will help customers to better manage the Cron logs.
