Enabling trace

Trace logs show trace events such as function entries and exits, component events, and debugging activities. Use the administration console to enable trace for a process.
You can configure the IBM^® WebSphere^® XML Document Management Server Component to start in a trace-enabled state by setting the appropriate configuration properties.
You can control how much detail each logger records by adjusting the log level details. Because the loggers are grouped hierarchically, setting the trace level on one logger also sets all subsequent loggers to the same level. Altering the tracing levels impact the performance of the system.
Enable and configure trace by completing the following steps:

1.     Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console.

a.     Open a browser and navigate to the following URL: https://host_name:port/ibm/console.

Where:

§  host_name is the fully qualified host name of the server where the application or the network deployment manager is deployed.

§  port is the secured port used to access the console. The default is 9043.

Note: The default unsecured port is 9060. If you use 9060, you must have "http" instead of "https" in the URL.

b.    Enter an administrator user ID and password. If security is not enabled leave the password field blank.

c.     Click Log in.

2.     In the navigation panel, click Troubleshooting > Logs and Trace.

3.     Click server_name in the Server column of the table.

4.     Click Diagnostic Trace.

5.     Configure your trace options:

a.     Display the Configuration tab.

b.    Select Enable log.

c.     Click Change Log Level Details(if you required new logs traces default =INFO.*).

d.    Click Components to view all loggers for the individual components.

e.     Click + to show the children of the logger.

f.     Click logger_name to change the log details. To enable tracing on specific components of IBM WebSphere XML Document Management Server Component, use com.ibm.xdms.*=all as a logger group name.

§  com.ibm.xcap.*

§  com.ibm.xdms.agp.*

§  com.ibm.xdms.common.*

§  com.ibm.xdms.function.*

§  com.ibm.xdms.install.*

§  com.ibm.xdms.osgi.*

§  com.ibm.xdms.sip.*

§  com.ibm.xdms.utils.*

§  com.ibm.xdms.xcap.*

g.    Choose the appropriate level of tracing.

Remember: When you change the level for a logger, the change is propagated to the children of the logger.
