Enabling tracing

Replace app_server_name with the name of the application server where the agent manager applications are installed, for example, AgentManager.

Turn on the entry and exit tracing	mgr.*=entryexit=enabled
Turn on the highest level of tracing	mgr.*=debug=enabled
Turn on tracing for warnings	mgr.*=event=enabled
