To log tracing information on the client side, use the -D option of the java tool and set the system property SMJAVASDK_LOG_INFO to true. SiteMinder logs the information to the standard output.
For example, if your Java Development Kit is on Windows and you want to trace the Policy Management API sample application, the command line would be:
java -DSMJAVASDK_LOG_INFO=true -classpath .;..\..\java\smjavasdk2.jar;
..\..\java\smjavaagentapi.jar PolicyApiSample
