The adapter components provide several levels of message logging and tracing. The connector uses the adapter framework to log error, informational, and trace messages. Error and informational messages are recorded in the log file, and trace messages and their corresponding trace levels (0 to 5) are recorded in a trace file. For details about logging and trace levels, see Troubleshooting and error handling.
You configure both the log and trace file names, as well as the trace level, in Connector Configurator. For details about this tool, see Appendix B, Connector Configurator.
Note that the ODA has no logging capability. Error messages are sent directly to the user interface. Trace files and the trace level are configured in Business Object Designer. The process is described in Configure the agent. The ODA trace levels are the same as the connector trace levels, defined in Tracing.
