You can use the JDBC Driver Manager Trace tool to trace a connection to any database that you access in InfoMaker through the JDBC interface.
Unlike the Database Trace tool, the JDBC Driver Manager Trace tool cannot trace connections through one of the native database interfaces.
JDBC Driver Manager Trace logs errors and informational messages originating from the Driver object currently loaded (such as Sybase’s jConnect JDBC driver) when InfoMaker connects to a database through the JDBC interface. It writes this information to a default log file named JDBC.LOG or to a log file that you specify. The amount of trace output varies depending on the JDBC driver being used.
The information from JDBC Driver Manager Trace, like Database Trace, can help you:
Understand what InfoMaker is doing internally while connected to a database through the JDBC interface
Identify and resolve problems with your JDBC connection
Provide useful information to Technical Support if you call them for help with your database connection
Use JDBC Driver Manager Trace instead of the Database Trace tool if you want more detailed information about the JDBC driver.
Performance considerations Turning on JDBC Driver Manager Trace can slow your performance while working in InfoMaker. Therefore, use JDBC Driver Manager Trace for debugging purposes only and keep it turned off when you are not debugging.
InfoMaker writes JDBC Driver Manager Trace output to a default log file named JDBC.LOG or to a log file that you specify. The default location of JDBC.LOG is a temp directory.
