Manage the application server trace service
Overview
We can manage the trace service for a server process while the server
is stopped and while it is running. We can specify which components to trace,
where to send trace output, the characteristics of the trace output device,
and which format to generate trace output in.
Procedure
- Start the administrative console.
- Click Troubleshooting > Logging and Tracing in the console
navigation tree, then click server > Diagnostic Trace
- If the server is running, select the Runtime tab.
- For a running server, check the Save trace check box to write your
changes back to the server configuration. If Save trace is not
selected, the changes you make will apply only for the life of the server
process that is currently running.
- Perform the desired operation:
- Enter the file name and click Dump to dump the in-memory
circular buffer.
- To change the trace destination from a file to the in-memory
circular buffer or to a different file, or to change from the in memory circular
buffer to a file, select the appropriate radio buttons, then click Apply.
- To change the format in which trace output is generated, select
the appropriate value from the drop-down list.
