The Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) offers trace
points at the opening and closing of ports, the invocation of services,
and the responses from services. WSIF also includes a SimpleLog utility
that can run trace when you are using WSIF outside of WebSphere® Application
Server.
Before you begin
Note: This topic references one or more of the application
server log files. As a recommended alternative, 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 on distributed and IBM® i systems. You can also use
HPEL in conjunction with your 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.
