Enable cross-component tracing with data snapshot to collect
data associated with Service Component Architecture (SCA) processing
and call chain data associated with WebSphere® Process
Server and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus modules
and components.
Before you begin
You must be logged in as administrator to perform this task.
About this task
To enable cross-component tracing, use the following procedure.
Procedure
- Ensure the administrative console is running, and then
click to display the Cross-Component Trace
page.
- Select the server for which you want to enable tracing. Note the status of the selected servers in the Status column: running or not
running. If the status is not running,
runtime tracing for that server is disabled and you can specify only
the configuration value. In this case, the trace level takes effect
only when the server starts or restarts.
- In the Configuration or Runtime columns,
select enable with data snapshot from the dropdown
box for each server for which you want to enable tracing. Enable
tracing in Configuration to collect data when
the server starts or restarts. Enable tracing in Runtime to
collect data when the server is currently running.
- After you have specified the settings, click OK to
save the settings.
Results
Collected SCA data is added to the systemout.log and trace.log
files and is purged as those files are purged. Input and output data
passing between WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus components is captured and additional files are created
in the logs\XCT directory. This data can be used for problem determination
by WebSphere Integration Developer.
Deleting these files when they are no longer needed is a task for
the administrator. See
Troubleshooting Service Component Architecture (SCA) processing and call chains for
more information.
