How to collect configuration data, master data, and first failure data during API execution

Perform the following steps to collect configuration data, master data, and first failure data:

Procedure

  1. Locate the yfs.properties file in the installation directory.
  2. Specify the required value for the api.configuration.dump.mode property. The valid values and description are provided in the following table:
    Values Description
    ON_ERROR If an error occurs during the execution of an API, then irrespective of the tracing level that is configured for the API in System Management console, certain data such as API input, error details, configuration data, and select master data that were accessed during the API execution, are dumped in the form of an XML into a separate log file. The default location of the log file is in the ffdc directory present inside the log directory.
    ON_VERBOSE If an API is run with VERBOSE level of tracing enabled in System Management console, then at the end of the successful execution of the API, certain data such as API input, configuration, and select master data that were accessed during the API execution, is dumped in the form of an XML into the standard log file. ON_VERBOSE is the default value for the api.configuration.dump.mode property.
    ON_ERROR_AND_VERBOSE This level provides the features of both ON_ERROR and ON_VERBOSE modes.
    NONE This level does not collect any configuration or master data.
