Gateway daemon tracing

Gateway daemon tracing can be set in the Gateway daemon configuration file, or with a command option.

For information about controlling trace at run time using the ctgadmin command see Trace options.

Tracing on Windows:

For information about enabling trace at startup using the configuration file see Configuring trace settings.

You can enable trace so that it starts whenever you start the Gateway daemon as a Windows service by configuring the Gateway daemon.

Use the -A option on the ctgservice command. For more information, see ctgservice command reference.

Tracing on UNIX and Linux:

To enable standard trace when starting the Gateway daemon use this command:

ctgstart -trace

To enable debug trace, use this command:

ctgstart -x

For more information on starting the Gateway daemon with trace options, see ctgstart command reference.

Specifying trace output destination

You can use the Configuration Tool to define a default destination for trace output. See Using the Configuration Tool for more information.

If you do not define a default destination for trace output, trace output is written to /var/cicscli/gateway.trc on UNIX and Linux and <product_data_path>\gateway.trc on Windows by default.

To override the default destination for trace output on UNIX and Linux, use the ctgstart -tfile option.

To start the Gateway daemon with debug tracing enabled and write the trace output to the file specified in the filename variable, use this command:

ctgstart -x -tfile=filename
