This document provides trace information for the following components:
To switch on tracing
Set the attribute TRACE-LEVEL in the broker attribute file
for minimal trace output to "1"
for detailed trace output to "2"
for full trace output to "3"
Example:
TRACE-LEVEL=2
To switch off tracing
Set the attribute TRACE-LEVEL in the broker attribute file to 0:
TRACE-LEVEL=0
Or:
Omit the TRACE-LEVEL attribute.
The broker stubs provide an option for writing trace files.
To switch on tracing for the broker stub
Before starting the client application, set the environment variable ETB_STUBLOG:
| Trace Value |
Trace Level | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | NONE |
No tracing. |
| 1 | STANDARD |
Traces initialization, errors, and all ACI request/reply strings. |
| 2 | ADVANCED |
Used primarily by system engineers, traces everything from level 1 and provides additional information - for example the Broker ACI control block - as well as transport information. |
| 3 | SUPPORT |
This is full tracing through the stub, including detailed traces of control blocks, message information, etc. |
Example:
ETB_STUBLOG=2If the trace level is greater than 1, unencrypted contents of the send/receive buffers may be exposed in the trace.
Trace output is written to SYSOUT.
Remember to switch off tracing to prevent trace files from filling up your disk.
To switch off tracing for the broker stub
Set the environment variable ETB_STUBLOG to NONE or delete it.
To switch on tracing for the RPC server
Set the parameter TRACELEVEL in S-element RPC-CONFIG in EXP960.JOBS.
To evaluate the return codes, see Error Messages and Codes.
