Tracing

If errors are encountered when using Fault Analyzer, Tracing can be enabled to generate log files to assist in problem determination.

Server / Host Diagnostics

In case of a server error, a trace can be created on the server side by going to Window->Preferences and selecting the preference page in the screenshot below. The trace is turned off by default and is set to off every time Eclipse is restarted.

The option Enable Host ZZDEBUG Trace controls the gathering of trace information.

The ZZDEBUG Trace file is downloaded to the eclipse workspace.

If trace is enabled and a fault entry is Reanalyzed, the ZZDEBUG Trace appears under the selected fault entry.

Client / GUI Diagnostics

In case of a client error, a Fault Analyzer specific log, detailing server communications and plugin operations is available in the workspace located under the FaultAnalyzer folder in a file named .log. The log file is cleared every time Eclipse is restarted.
