SkipTrace CLI/ODBC configuration keyword

db2cli.ini keyword syntax:

SkipTrace = 0 | 1

Default setting:

Do not skip the trace function.

Usage notes:

 

This keyword can improve performance by allowing the DB2 trace function to bypass CLI applications. Therefore, if the DB2 trace facility db2trc is turned on and this keyword is set to 1, the trace will not contain information from the execution of the CLI application.

Turning SkipTrace on is recommended for production environments on the UNIX platform where trace information is not required. Test environments may benefit, however, from having trace output, so this keyword can be turned off (or left at its Default setting) when detailed execution information is desired.

(This option is contained in the Common section of the initialization file and therefore applies to all connections to DB2.)
