Configuring the trace function in your local Liberty profile

Before you can trace your Java™ web application in your local Liberty profile, you must configure your local work environment.

About this task

Complete the following steps to configure the trace function in your local Liberty profile.

Procedure

Add the traceRequests="ON" parameter to the connection factory in your server.xml file to enable tracing.

With traceRequests="ON" specified, when you send another application request, the Eclipse console shows the request and the response that your application sends and receives from CICS®.

The following example shows a request that is sent to CICS and the response received from CICS.
