For debugging purposes, you can enable tracing for your
widgets from the administrative console. Tracing functionality must
be configured on the application server instance where Business Space is installed.
Procedure
- Open the administrative console and click
- On the Resource environment providers page,
click Mashups_ConfigService.
- Under Additional Properties, click Custom properties. The list of custom properties opens.
- Click isDebug, change the Value field
to true, and then click OK.
- Click traceConfig. In the Value field,
add the components that you want to trace, separated by commas with
no spaces in between. The format must be similar to
the following example: com.ibm.mm.iwidget.*,com.ibm.mashups.*,com.ibm.bspace.* for
Business Space or com.ibm.wbimonitor.* for IBM® Business
Monitor.
Note: Browser performance degradation can occur when too many
components are listed.
- Click OK and then save your changes
to the master configuration.
- Restart the application server instance.
Results
A debugging console is displayed at the bottom of the page
the next time you log in to
dashboard spaces.
Note: When
tracing has been enabled in addition to the Debug Console, Firebug
Lite is also loaded. Because Firebug Lite opens as a pop-up window,
you might receive an error message if your browser has been configured
to block pop-ups. This can be resolved by disabling the pop-up blocker
for your space URL and then restarting the browser.
What to do next
To save a copy of the trace file, click
Save in
the debugging console.
