Working with error and trace message files

Error and trace message files (the default is JDBCODAAgent.txt) are located in \ODA\messages\, which is under the product directory. These files use the following naming convention:

AgentNameAgent.txt
   

If you create multiple instances of the ODA script or batch file and provide a unique name for each represented ODA, you can have a message file for each ODA instance. Alternatively, you can have differently named ODAs use the same message file. There are two ways to specify a valid message file:

Important:
Failing to correctly specify the message file's name when you configure the ODA causes it to run without messages. For more information on specifying the message file name, see "Configure initialization properties".

During the configuration process, you specify:

Table 10 describes these values.

Table 10. Tracing levels
Trace level Description
0 Logs all errors
1 Traces all entering and exiting messages for method
2 Traces the ODA's properties and their values
3 Traces the names of all business objects
4 Traces details of all spawned threads
5 * Indicates the ODA initialization values for all of its properties * Traces a detailed status of each thread that JDBCODA spawned * Traces the business object definition dump

For information on where you configure these values, see "Configure initialization properties".
