NOTE! The trace string you put in depends on what module
in Application Server you need to trace or what problem you are wishing to
troubleshoot. In order to determine what string you need to put in, please
consult the WebSphere
Support site . Once there, search on "MustGather and" place in the
module you wish to troubleshoot. This will narrow down your search for the
particular MustGather document. Once you get to the MustGather document,
follow the instructions within to get the trace string.

To enable a WebSphere Application Server trace:
- Open the server configuration editor from the Server Perspective of
WebSphere Studio Application Developer.
- Select the Trace tab. From here, the Trace string and Trace output
file can be configured.
- Save your changes.
The next time your test server starts, tracing is enabled. In the
WebSphere Studio Application Developer console, the following output is
displayed:
TRAS0017I: The startup trace state is <listing of the
trace string.
The trace output is sent to the specified Trace output file.
You can also enable tracing in the WebSphere Administrative Console if
the administrative console is enabled on the test server.
To enable the administrative console:
- Select the Configuration tab in the server configuration editor.
- Select the Enable administration console checkbox.
- Restart the Test Server.
- Open a Web browser and point to http://localhost:9090/admin to access
the administrative console.
- Enable tracing in the same way that it is enabled when running outside
of WebSphere Studio Application Developer.
