Important Notes About Tracing and Troubleshooting Identity Manager

Before you start tracing or troubleshooting Identity Manager, note the following:

• Tracing affects system performance. To ensure optimal performance, use the minimum tracing level needed or turn off tracing after debugging the systems.

• Do not enable tracing for the com.waveset class. The com.waveset class is verbose and has many classes, so tracing this class might cause your server to hang.

• Do not configure Identity Manager to trace at the advanced level unless instructed to do so by Sun Support.

• If you set exception.trace in the Waveset.properties file to debug a specific problem, do not use it for an extended period of time and be sure you disable it after debugging. Setting exception.trace in the Waveset.properties file can significantly affect system performance.
