Enabling trace

You can enable tracing during startup and be able to view trace records.

About this task

To enable tracing during startup and be able to view trace records, complete the following steps:

Edit the appropriate Tracing Configuration file for the component to be traced.
Add a line similar to the following to the Tracing Configuration file:
```
*:*.9:TEXTFILE:trace_%ld.log
```
Or, remove the number sign (#) at the beginning of this line, if it exists in the routing file, to allow viewing of trace records.
Change this line, if you want to log in this debug trace data XML log format. For example, you can change the line to send the output to an XML file instead of a text file:
```
*:*.9:XMLFILE.10.1000:trace__%ld.log;XMLSTDERR:-
```
