SAP JCO and RFC Tracing

The SAPResourceAdapter and the SAPHRActiveSyncAdapter provide resource attributes for SAP JCO and RFC tracing. They can be used to trace Identity Manager’s communication with the SAP system. The attributes are JCO Trace Level and JCO Trace Directory.

The following environment variables can be set in the environment to enable SAP RFC tracing. These variables must be set in the environment before starting the application server. They control the shared library that JCO uses to communicate with the SAP system.

• RFC_TRACE: 0 or 1

• RFC_TRACE_DUMP: 0 or 1

• RFC_TRACE_DIR: Path to the directory for the trace files

• CPIC_TRACE_DIR: Path to the directory for the trace files

If no JCO tracing is desired, set RFC_TRACE to 0 to ensure that no trace files are created.
