Enabling traces in WebSphere Application Server

Enable traces in IBM WebSphere Application Server so that we can access detailed information about the application server components, and use it to help troubleshoot the user life-cycle commands.

  1. Open the WebSphere Application Service WAS console.

  2. Expand Troubleshooting and select Logs and trace.

  3. Select the server to enable traces, and then select Diagnostic Trace.

  4. Click the Runtime tab.

  5. Click Change Log Detail Levels.

  6. Set the required trace level, select Save runtime changes to configuration as well, and click Apply.


Example
