Specifies whether the DB2 access service traces the interface layer of the DB2 access service library.
TraceInterface=[no | yes]
no
no indicates that the DB2 access service does not trace the interface layer.
yes indicates that the DB2 access service traces the interface layer.
The DB2 access service traces all activity related to interfacing the DB2 access service library and the target database such as Open Client DB-Library, and Open Client CT-Library, and TDS Library activity.
TDS Library activity is written to a separate trace file named tds.trc, which resides on the server in the same directory as the server trace file.
If you change the TraceInterface property value from no to yes using DirectConnect Manager, the Allocate property setting determines when TDS tracing takes effect for the client connection:
If the Allocate property is set to request, the DB2 access service begins tracing to the tds.trc file with the next request.
If the Allocate property is set to connect, the client application must log out and log back in for the DB2 access service to begin TDS tracing.
The TDS Library activity trace file does not wrap and needs to be deleted periodically. You delete the tds.trc file the same as you would the server trace file. See the Enterprise Connect Data Access and Mainframe Connect Server Administration Guide.
