Tracing provides information about activities carried out by an application. Trace output is sent to the server’s log file. To establish the level of detail for logging and tracing, select the Log/Trace tab, and select or unselect the properties described below.
You can also enable these logging and tracing properties on the command line or in the setenv.bat[sh] file—see “Configuring system logging”.
For information on viewing the log files, see “Viewing server log files”.
