Enabling client information tracing with the administrative console
Use either of the methods outlined in this task to enable the passing and tracing of client information about a database connection.
About this task
Refer to the Implicitly set client information topic
to determine which of the two available levels of client information
passing and tracing is appropriate for your configuration. Once a
level is selected, there are two methods of enabling it:
- Enable either of the WebSphere® Application Server trace groups: WAS.clientinfo or WAS.clientinfopluslogging. Enabling either of these trace groups enables client information passing for all data sources of the application server. If client information is only required for a specific data source, consider using the following method.
- Create a data source custom property to enable client information tracing. This method is functionally equivalent to enabling WAS.clientinfo, except that it is enabled only on the specified data source. A data source custom property does not exist to provide the equivalent functionality of the WAS.clientinfopluslogging trace group. If that level of tracing is required, use that trace group setting instead.
