Requesting trace information

The TRS tracing facility provides TDS header and data tracing. When you enable tracing, TRS writes tracing information to the trace file name specified in the TDSTraceFile configuration property.

Usually, you do not trace TRS activity. The tracing facility is provided to help Sybase Technical Support understand what occurred if you have to call about specific errors.

To request information about the status of the trace facility:

exec sgw_status trace

Table 8-6 shows the information that the procedure displays:
