Enabling trace in a Runtime for Java environment

Trace logging for components that use the Verify Identity Access Runtime for Java™ environment is controlled through the application-specific properties file or, for applications that are not explicitly configured with the com.tivoli.pd.jcfg.SvrSslCfg command, the $JAVA_HOME/PolicyDirector/PDJLog.properties file.

baseGroup.PDJapp_nameTraceLogger.isLogging=true

For each trace logger, the properties file defines a mask attribute, baseGroup.PDJapp_nameTraceAllMaskFilter.mask, that determines what levels of tracing are enabled. Valid mask values are 1 through 9. The precise meaning of any specified mask value is unimportant. The general intention is that ascending from a lower mask value to a higher mask value (for example, 1 to 2) increases the level of information detail that is traced.

Setting the mask value to a particular level means that all tracing levels up to and including the specified level are enabled. For example, if the mask value is 4, then tracing levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 are traced.
