Enabling the diagnostic trace service

Use this task to enable the diagnostic trace service, which is the logging service that can manage the amount of detail contained in the service component event.

Before you begin

You must have the business process and human task containers configured to allow Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) logging and audit logging.

Why and when to perform this task

The diagnostic trace service is the only logger type that can provide the level of detail required to capture the detail contained in the elements of service component events. You must enable the diagnostic trace service before you start the process server in order to log events. The service must also be enabled if you use the administrative console to select service component event points for monitoring using the CEI server.

Steps for this task

  1. In the navigation pane, click Servers > Application Servers.
  2. Click the name of the server that you want to work with.
  3. Under Troubleshooting, click Diagnostic Trace service.
  4. Select Enable log on the Configuration tab.
  5. Click Apply, and then Save.
  6. Click OK.

What to do next

If the process server was already started, then you must restart it for the changes to take effect.
