Diagnostic tracing

The XML Extender includes a trace facility that records XML Extender server activity. You should use the trace facility only under instruction of IBM Software Support.

The trace facility records information in a server file about a variety of events, such as entry to or exit from an XML Extender component or the return of an error code by an XML Extender component. Because it records information for many events, the trace facility should be used only when necessary, for example, when you are investigating error conditions. In addition, you should limit the number of active applications when using the trace facility. Limiting the number of active applications can make isolating the cause of a problem easier.

Use the dxxtrc command to control tracing. You can issue the command from a command line on an AIX, Windows NT, or Solaris server. You must have SYSADM, SYSCTRL, or SYSMINT authority to issue the command.

Use the dxxtrc command to complete the following:
