Service Arguments Tracing


You can export input and output arguments (property sets) in XML format to a file. This facilitates the debugging of problems with the EAI Siebel Adapter and EAI Dispatcher business services.

To output arguments in XML format

  1. Set server parameter EnableServiceArgTracing to True.

    If you are running in Siebel Dedicated Web Client, add the following to your .cfg file:

    [EAISubsys]

    EnableServiceArgTracing = TRUE

    This prevents the dump of the arguments when log events is set to ALL.

  2. Set the appropriate event level on your server component through the server manager on the server or SIEBEL_LOG_EVENTS in Siebel Dedicated Web Client. One of the following events should be set.

    If you set event to:

    • 3, then input arguments will be output when an error happens.
    • 4, then input and output arguments will be output to a file.

      When arguments are output, there will be a trace log entry that indicates the file name (in the log directory).

    EAIDispatchSvcArgTrc

    EAISiebAdptSvcArgTrc

          The filenames will take this form:

    service name_input or output_args_a big number.dmp

        For example:

    EAIDispatchService_input_args_270613751.dmp
