  2. Edit the Interop shortcut or start command to add the following extra parameters:
    -l PATH_TO_LOGFILE -loglevel 8

    For example,
    C:\DOORS\aqua\bin\doors.exe -d 56000@IBM-D2D7AEAC111 -interop -brokerHost localhost -brokerPort 61616 -l "C:\temp\interop.log" -loglevel 8
     
  3. Start all the DWA components in the following order:
    1. DWA Broker
       
    2. Interop
       
    3. Derby (optional)
       
    4. DWA Server
       
Note:
  • The Interop server log can be helpful for troubleshooting performance-related issues.
     
  • This logging mode also logs all the detailed activities by Interop and errors, if there are any.
     
  • System does not keep the added parameters so you need to enable logging every time the server restarted, if necessary.
     
  • If you want to disable Interop logging, stop all DWA components and during DWA restart, start the Interop server without adding the debug parameters, or restart the server.
