Enabling tracing for widgets in Process Portal spaces

For debugging purposes, you can enable tracing for your widgets from the administrative console. Tracing functionality must be configured on the application server instance where Business Space is installed.


Procedure

  1. Open the administrative console and click Resources > Resource Environment > Resource Environment Provider

  2. On the Resource environment providers page, click Mashups_ConfigService.
  3. Under Additional Properties, click Custom properties. The list of custom properties opens.

  4. Click isDebug, change the Value field to true, and then click OK.

  5. Click traceConfig. In the Value field, add the components that you want to trace, separated by commas with no spaces in between. The format must be similar to the following example: com.ibm.mm.iwidget.*,com.ibm.mashups.*,com.ibm.bspace.* for Business Space or com.ibm.wbimonitor.* for IBM Business Monitor.

    Browser performance degradation can occur when too many components are listed.

  6. Click OK and then save your changes to the master configuration.
  7. Restart the application server instance.


Results

A debugging console is displayed at the bottom of the page the next time you log in to Process Portal spaces.

When tracing has been enabled in addition to the Debug Console, Firebug Lite is also loaded. Because Firebug Lite opens as a pop-up window, you might receive an error message if your browser has been configured to block pop-ups. This can be resolved by disabling the pop-up blocker for your space URL and then restarting the browser.


What to do next

To save a copy of the trace file, click Save in the debugging console.
