Setting trace controls for IBM service

To view or set your trace settings, use the WebSphere administrative console:

Note:

ras_trace_defaultTracingLevel= n
Specifies the default tracing level for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.

Valid values and their meanings are:

0 No tracing
1 Exception tracing
2 Basic and exception tracing
3 Detailed tracing, including basic and exception tracing


Use this variable together with the
 ras_trace_basic
and
 ras_trace_detail
variables to set tracing levels for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS subcomponents.

Specifies the default tracing level for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.

Default: 1

Example:

 ras_trace_defaultTracingLevel=2

ras_trace_basic=n | (n,...)
Specifies tracing overrides for particular WebSphere Application Server for z/OS subcomponents.

Subcomponents, specified by numbers, receive basic and exception traces. If IBM service directs you to specify more than one subcomponent, use parentheses and separate the numbers with commas. IBM service provides the subcomponent numbers and their meanings.

Other parts of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS receive tracing as specified on the

 ras_trace_defaultTracingLevel
variable.

Note: Valid values for ras_trace_basic are:

Default: (no default value)

Example:

 ras_trace_basic=3

ras_trace_detail=n | (n,...)
Specifies tracing overrides for particular WebSphere Application Server for z/OS subcomponents.

Subcomponents, specified by numbers, receive detailed traces. If IBM service directs you to specify more than one subcomponent, use parentheses and separate the numbers with commas. IBM service provides the subcomponent numbers and their meanings.

Other parts of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS receive tracing as specified on the

 ras_trace_defaultTracingLevel
variable.

Note: Valid values for ras_trace_detail are:

Default: (no default value)

Examples:

 ras_trace_detail=3
 ras_trace_detail=(3,4)

ras_trace_specific=n | (n,...)
Specifies tracing overrides for specific WebSphere Application Server for z/OS trace points.

Trace points are specified by 8-digit, hexadecimal numbers. If IBM service directs you to specify more than one trace point, use parentheses and separate the numbers with commas. You also can specify a WebSphere variable name by enclosing the name in single quotes. The value of the WebSphere variable will be handled as if you had specified that value on

 ras_trace_specific
.

Default: (no default value)

Examples:

 ras_trace_specific=03004020
 ras_trace_specific=(03004020,04005010)
 ras_trace_specific='xyz'
[where xyz is an environment variable name]
 ras_trace_specific=('xyz','abc',03004021)
[where xyz and abc are environment variable names]

ras_trace_exclude_specific=n | (n,...)
Specifies WebSphere Application Server for z/OS trace points to exclude from tracing activity.

Trace points are specified by 8-digit, hexadecimal numbers. If IBM service directs you to specify more than one trace point, use parentheses and separate the numbers with commas. You also can specify a WebSphere variable name by enclosing the name in single quotes. The value of the WebSphere variable will be handled as if you had specified that value on

 ras_trace_exclude_specific
.

Default: (no default value)

Examples:

 ras_trace_exclude_specific=03004020
 ras_trace_exclude_specific=(03004020,04005010)
 ras_trace_exclude_specific='xyz'
[where xyz is an environment variable name]
 ras_trace_exclude_specific=('xyz','abc',03004021)
[where xyz and abc are environment variable names]
