Enabling tracing

You enable tracing for a Collector Server instance in the instance configuration. You start and stop tracing by using the archadmin command. Starting with Content Collector for SAP Applications 4.0 Fix Pack 1 (4.0.0.1), you can start and stop tracing also from Operation Feature.

1. In Configuration Feature, open the Collector Server instance for which you want to enable tracing.
2. Go to Basic Configuration > Logging and Tracing > Tracing.
3. For Tracing, select On or Dynamic.

   Prefer to select Dynamic because tracing then stops after the instance is fully initialized. If you select On, you enable continuous tracing, which affects the performance considerably.

   In a server configuration profile, you find the following specification that relates to the tracing:

   Section in server configuration profile	Keyword	UI field that supplies the value
   Global section	TRACE	Tracing

4. Restarting a Collector Server instance.
5. You can stop tracing and start it again at any time:
   • By using the archadmin command. For more information, see archadmin.
   • From Operation Feature. Complete these steps:
     1. In the navigation pane on the left, click Connection Monitoring.
     2. Double-click the Collector Server instance for which you want to view a trace or a log.
     3. Under Tracing, click On or Off.
