IBM SG24-6320-00 manual Tracing with WebSphere Commerce V5.6 Toolkit

Draft Document for Review July 28, 2004 7:33 pm 6320ax04.fm

Tip: The trace strings for the various WebSphere Commerce components can be found in the WebSphere Commerce InfoCenter at the following address:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wc56help/topic/com.ibm.commer

ce.admin.doc/refs/rlslogging.htm

Also, to enable logging for more than one component, separate the trace strings with a colon, for example:

com.ibm.websphere.commerce.WC_ORDER=all=enabled:com.ibm.websphere.comm erce.WC_INVENTORY=all=enabled:com.ibm.websphere.commerce.WC_UTF=all=en abled

This will enable tracing for the components ORDER, INVENTORY and UTF.

5.Enter the following at the wsadmin prompt to exit the wsadmin tool: quit

Note: The changes to the trace string are not saved in the server configuration. If the server is restarted, the trace string specification will revert to the value it had before you changed the value from within the wsadmin tool.

To permanently change the trace string for a server, you must use the

WebSphere Commerce Administration Console.

Tracing with WebSphere Commerce V5.6 Toolkit

Specifying trace levels and components for WebSphere Commerce V5.6 is very different than in WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1. Since WebSphere Commerce V5.5, the WebSphere Application Server tracing facility has been used for trace output.

In the WebSphere Commerce V5.6 runtime environment, tracing is enabled in the WebSphere Application Server Administration Console.

In WebSphere Commerce V5.6 Toolkit, the tracing is specified in one of two ways, depending on whether the Full or the Lightweight WebSphere Test Environment is used.

Tracing for Lightweight WebSphere Test Environment

The Lightweight WebSphere Test Environment uses a property file to control which components have tracing enabled.
