You can set varying tracing levels for specific Rational® Developer for System z® components.
During execution, trace entries are produced and placed in
the
workspace\.metadata\.trace file. The number
of entries and the amount of detail generated is determined by the
setting of the
tracing level for various
tracers. The
tracers are listed on the
Tracing preference
page. A tracing level is specified for each tracer, and if tracing
is enabled the
.trace file is populated with
entries that contain a level equal to or less than the specified level.
A trace shows the flow of the execution of a program and can help
with troubleshooting and debugging problems.
For information about
enabling tracing, see Tracing
Tab.
