Tracing is an optional debugging feature you can turn on to closely follow the connector's behavior. Tracing messages are configurable and can be changed dynamically. You set various levels depending on the desired detail. The following sections describe tracing for the TCP/IP adapter.
Recommendation: Tracing should be turned off on a production system or set to the lowest possible level to improve performance and decrease file size.
Trace messages, by default, are written to STDOUT (screen). You can also configure tracing to write to a file.
Table 5 describes the types of tracing messages that the connector
outputs at each trace level. All the trace messages appear in the file
specified by the connector property TraceFileName. These messages are
in addition to any tracing messages output by the IBM WebSphere Business
Integration Adapter architecture.
