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 the Web Start client are located in a different place than logs for the browser client and for the desktop client installed from the media. On Windows computers, the logs for the Web Start client are located in the C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\IBM\Java\Deployment\log or %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\IBM\Java\Deployment\log directory. On Linux and UNIX computers, the logs are located in the .java/deployment/log 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 javaws.nnnnn.trace, where nnnnn is an arbitrary five-digit identifier.
To enable tracing:
Procedure
- Launch the IBM Control Panel for Java.
- On Windows, 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. Alternatively, you can launch the Control Panel by selecting Start > Run > "C:\Program Files\IBM\Java70\jre\bin\javacpl.exe".
- On Linux, change to <install_dir>/jre/<platform>/bin and run Control Panel: ./ControlPanel
- Select the Advanced tab.
- Expand the Debugging node in the Sets tree and check Enable Tracing.
- Click OK to save the setting and close the Java Control Panel.
