Tracing Managed File Transfer standalone loggers on Multiplatforms

Tracing Managed File Transfer standalone loggers on Multiplatforms

The trace facility in Managed File Transfer is provided to help IBM® Support diagnose your problems and issues. Various commands and properties control the behavior of this facility.

About this task

If you are asked to provide trace output to investigate an issue with a logger, use one of the following options, depending on whether it is possible for you to stop the logger for a short period of time.

If you are unsure which option to use, contact your IBM Support representative and they will advise you on the best way to collect trace for the issue that you are seeing.

Procedure

If it is possible for you to stop a logger for a short period of time, collect a trace of the logger from startup. For more information, see Collecting a Managed File Transfer standalone logger trace from startup.
If it is not possible for you to stop a logger, then collect a trace dynamically using the fteSetLoggerTraceLevel command. For more information, see Collecting a Managed File Transfer standalone logger trace dynamically.

Collecting a Managed File Transfer standalone logger trace from startup
Where it is possible for you to stop a logger for a short period of time, you should collect Managed File Transfer logger trace from startup.
Collecting a Managed File Transfer standalone logger trace dynamically
The fteSetLoggerTraceLevel command allows trace to be collected from a running logger. This can be very useful if IBM Support need to see a trace from a logger that cannot be stopped.
