WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server, Version 7.1

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.

About this task

You can configure the WebSphere® Telecom Web Services Server 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:
    1. 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 port is 9043.
      Note: The default unsecured port is 9060. If you use 9060, you must have "http" instead of "https" in the URL.
    2. Enter an administrator user ID and password. (Omit the password if security is not enabled.)
    3. Click Log in.
  2. In the navigation pane, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers.
    Note: If you are using WebSphere Application Server version 6.1.0.x, reach this window by clicking Servers > Application servers.
  3. Click the name of the server you want to manage.
  4. Click Troubleshooting > Logging and Tracing.
  5. Click Diagnostic Trace Service.
  6. Configure your trace options:
    1. Display the Runtime tab.
    2. To disable tracing, select File and then select None.
      Note: If you are using WebSphere Application Server version 6.1.0.x, disable tracing by selecting Enable log and then substituting disabled in place of enabled.
    3. Click Change Log Level Details.
    4. Click Components to view all loggers for the individual components.
    5. Click + to show the children of the logger.
    6. Click logger_name to change the log details. To enable tracing on specific components of WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server, click one of these logger groups:
      • com.ibm.soa.common.*
      • com.ibm.soa.parlayx21.*
      • com.ibm.soa.sp.*
      • com.ibm.soa.*
      • com.ibm.twss.ag.*
      • com.ibm.twss.parlayx21.*
      • com.ibm.twss.spm.*
      • com.ibm.twss.*
      • com.ibm.mds.*
      • com.ibm.wast.*
    7. 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.
      For additional information regarding trace levels, click ? in the title bar of the panel to open the help page.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Click Save.
Results
The specified traces are enabled for the current server session. To make the changes permanent, use the Configuration tab rather than the Runtime tab when you configure the trace options. Note that when you use the Configuration tab, you will need to restart the server for your changes to take effect.
