IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Enable tracing for the JRE
Log files are not created for the desktop client launched through Web Start unless you enable tracing for the JRE.
The logs for a desktop client run using Web Start are located in a different place than logs for the browser client and the desktop client installed from the media. On Windows computers, the logs for the Web Start client are located in the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\IBM\Java\Deployment\log directory. On Linux computers, the logs are located in the .java/deployment directory of the home directory of the user ID under which the Java JRE was installed. Java Web Start will create a uniquely named trace file for every independent launch of the application. The files are named javawsnnnnn.trace, where nnnnn is an arbitrary five-digit identifier.To enable tracing:
- Launch the IBM Control Panel for Java.
- Select Start → Control Panel, then double-click IBM Control Panel for Java.
You must switch to the Classic view to see and select the Control Panel.
- Change to install_dir/jre/platform/bin and run Control Panel:
./ControlPanel
- Select the Advanced tab.
- Expand the Debugging node in the Settings tree and check Enable Tracing.
- Click OK to save the setting and close the Java Control Panel.
