Server trace options

You can enable trace to provide information about your environment to IBM® support.

Trace option components

WebSphere® eXtreme Scale trace is divided into several different components. You can specify the level of trace to use for a catalog server or container server. Common levels of trace include: all, debug, entryExit, and event.
An example trace string follows:
ObjectGridComponent=level=enabled
You can concatenate trace strings. Use the * (asterisk) symbol to specify a wildcard value, such as ObjectGrid*=all=enabled. If you need to provide a trace to IBM support, a specific trace string is requested. For example, if a problem with replication occurs, the ObjectGridReplication=debug=enabled trace string might be requested.
