Inputs

The inputs to this function are:

• The first parameter can be either a valid filename or NULL. If a filename is provided it will be used to create the log file if file access permissions allow. If this parameter is NULL then the trace output will be written to a file called “trace-<If this parameter is NULL then the trace output will be written to a file called "trace-<procname>-<procid>.out" (where <procname> is the name of the proxy application and <procid> is the application's process id). On a Windows platform this file will be written to the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\CA\Gen xx\logs\client directory. For UNIX and Linux systems, the file is located in the current directory. An empty string "" for the first parameter will result in no file being created.
• The second parameter is the trace level.
• 0xFFFFFFFF requests the highest (verbose) level of messages.
• NULL indicates that the value of the CMIDEBUG environment variable should be used to determine the trace level.

Functions that return a Failure status, generally write detailed information regarding the failure to the trace file.
