Tracing operations

 

  1. Invoke the AdminControl object commands interactively, in a script, or use the wsadmin -c command from an operating system command prompt.

  2. Enable tracing with the following command: 

    $AdminControl trace com.ibm.*=all=enabled
    where:

    $AdminControl is an object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WebSphere server process
    trace is an AdminControl command
    com.ibm.*=all=enabled indicates to turn on tracing


    The following command disables tracing: 

    $AdminControl trace com.ibm.*=all=disabled
    where:

    $AdminControl is an object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WebSphere server process
    trace is an AdminControl command
    com.ibm.*=all=disabled indicates to turn off tracing


    The trace command changes the trace settings for the current session. One can change this setting persistently by editting the wsadmin.properties file. The property com.ibm.ws.scripting.traceString is read by the launcher during initialization. If it has a value, the value is used to set the trace.

    A related property, com.ibm.ws.scripting.traceFile , designates a file to receive all trace and logging information. The wsadmin.properties file contains a value for this property. Run the wsadmin tool with a value set for this property. It is possible to run without this property set, where all logging and tracing goes to the administrative console.
