Changing the trace level

You can change the type of information that is reported in the execution trace returned by the Execution Unit (XU).

About this task

If the jdkLoggingEnabled XU property is set to false, you can choose the amount of details by setting the appropriate option of the traceLevel property. For WebSphere® Application Server, the default value of the jdkLoggingEnabled property is true.

  1. Open the RAR deployment descriptor in any text or XML editor.
  2. Locate the property name <config-property-name>traceLevel</config-property-name>.
  3. Change the current setting to one of the following values:
    • No trace: <config-property-value>OFF</config-property-value>
