Trace specification strings by component

Each component in B2B Advanced Communications has a trace specification string. You can use trace specification strings to limit which component logs are displayed in the system log file.

You can use the following trace specification strings to enable logging on a particular component in two ways:

  • To enable logging for a particular component in the command line interface B2B Advanced Communications, use the member set_logging command with the member type and the trace specification string of that component. For example, to enable logging for the UI component, enter the following command:

    execute member set_logging informational com.ibm.b2b.meg.ui.core*=all=enabled:com.ibm.b2.meg.ui.visibility*=all=enabled

    You can use logging for multiple components by separating each trace specification string with a colon. For more information about logging commands, see Logging commands and Member logging.

  • To enable logging for particular component in the B2B Advanced Communications user interface, use System Management > Systems Diagnostics. For more information about enabling logging with trace specifications in the user interface, see Enabling the logging trace specification for a component.

Table 1. Component Trace Specification Strings. Components available for enabling logging are read with their member type and trace specification string arguments.

To view detailed logging for SSL issues, a property file is required in addition to the trace specification string. Add the javax.net.debug=ssl property to the bootstrap.properties file. You can find the properties file in the Install_Dir/Members/Operational/usr/servers/operational directory.

Important: Ensure that you always restart B2B Advanced Communications after you edit a bootstrap file.
