How to View Trace Files

By default, Waveset sends tracing information to a file named WSTrace#.log that is stored in the path_to_idm_install\export\pipeline\config\ directory. If necessary, you can specify alternate file names and locations when you configure tracing for an object.

Each log file is numbered sequentially, up to the maximum number of files specified on the Edit Trace Configuration page. For example, if you specify a maximum of three files, the files are named WSTrace1.log, WSTrace2.log, and WSTrace3.log.

Use one of the following methods to view these log files:

• If you are sending trace information to a file, open the trace file from the specified location. For example:

  path_to_idm_install \export\pipeline\config\WSTrace2.log

• If you are sending trace information to stdout, open your application server’s stdout file in a text editor to view the trace output logs.
