Display Trace in a Log File

You can use the log files to collect trace information.

Note: Tracing uses CPU; therefore, the DSA's response time is slower if you have set a high tracing level.

To display trace in a log file

1. Delete all of the DSA's logs.

   This means that you can be absolutely sure that you are viewing the new trace and not an old one.

2. Use the following command to open the trace log file:

   set trace = dsaname_trace.log;
   

3. Restart or reinitialize the DSA.

   The trace starts, outputting to the following file:

   dsaname_trace.log
