Use the administrative console to enable tracing on a running
server. You can use trace to assist you in monitoring system performance
and diagnosing problems.
About this task
You can modify the trace service state that determines
which components are being actively traced for a running server by

You can also configure
tracing from the MVS console using the modify command.
New feature: This topic
references one or more of the application server log files. Beginning
in WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0 you can configure the
server to use the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and
trace infrastructure instead of using
SystemOut.log ,
SystemErr.log,
trace.log, and
activity.log files or native z/OS logging
facilities. If you are using HPEL, you can access all of your log
and trace information using the LogViewer command-line tool from your
server profile bin directory. See the information about using HPEL
to troubleshoot applications for more information on using HPEL.
