Threshold for Tracing

Where to find it

• Manager > Administration > Server Settings menu > Logging category > Threshold for Tracing setting

Purpose

This setting determines the level at which trace messages are recorded. The options available are:

1. Off: No tracing is performed
2. Debug: Full, extensive and detailed tracing will be performed
3. Path: The path of each function called is traced
4. Information: Common debugging information will be traced

Note that each ascending level of tracing includes all of the categories above it (so the lowest level of tracing (Debug) will also result in Path and Information tracing being performed).

Use

This setting is set to Off by default, and should not normally be changed unless explicitly asked for by SAP as part of troubleshooting or problem solving.

Trace files are written to the Manager server. For on-prem installations (on Tomcat) they can be found at:

%ProgramFiles%\Apache Software Foundation\<your Tomcat version>\logs\

For cloud implementations, you will need to contact SAP for access.

Trace files are saved as .glf files, and can be viewed via the SAP Log Viewer or via any text editor.
