Overview

The WebSphere Portal log file...

portal_server_root/log/trace.log

...contains messages and trace information, if tracing is enabled.

The following table describes trace loggers for particular situations. Note that enabling trace loggers can slow down WebSphere Portal.

Trace strings beginning with...

com.ibm.wps.*

...are extensions in the IBM portlet API.

 

Trace strings

Area	When to use	Trace string	Comments
Access Control	Permissions for resources to be explained in detail Verify the correctness of a permission Isolate a defect in access control	com.ibm.wps.ac.*=all	The traces are easier to evaluate while WebSphere Portal usage is low. Creates large log files.
Authentication		com.ibm.wps.engine.*=all: com.ibm.wps.services.puma.*=all: com.ibm.wps.puma.*=all: com.ibm.wps.sso.*=all: com.ibm.wps.services.authentication.*=all
Command	Turn on all command trace loggers.	com.ibm.wps.commands.*=all
Composition Model	How pages are constructed Page lists Aggregation components	com.ibm.wps.model.*=all: com.ibm.wps.composition.*=all	The traces are easier to evaluate while WebSphere Portal usage is low. Creates large log files.

General		com.ibm.wps.*=all To not display render times: com.ibm.wps.pe.PortletRenderTimeLoggingHelper=info	When general tracing is enabled and parallel portlet rendering is turned on, portlets that are configured to be rendered in parallel will display the render time as part of the portlet content.
Mapping URLs	User-defined mappings of URLs	com.ibm.wps.mappingurl.*=all: com.ibm.wps.command.mappingurl.*=all
Personalization		com.ibm.websphere.personalization.*=all com.ibm.dm.pzn.ui.*=all	When Personalization is installed outside of a Portal server, Personalization will log using WAS tracing with the same trace strings.
