Tracing determines what level of errors or warnings are captured
in the adapter log file. You can trace messages regarding adapter processing
by defining a tracing level. Trace messages, by default, are captured in the
adapter log file, but can be captured in a separate file if you prefer. (For
the enterprise service discovery wizard, the trace messages are captured in
the same file as that used for the wizard’s log messages.)
