TIBCO WebFOCUS App Studio Trace Utility
|
How to: |
The WebFOCUS App Studio trace utility (Communication Layer Trace) generates trace files for tasks performed by the WebFOCUS App Studio development environment communication layer. It captures information for tasks performed by WebFOCUS App Studio when a request is submitted or retrieved by the product.
You can use this utility to help troubleshoot issues, such as communication failures, connection problems, and transfer of files.
To generate traces for issues you might encounter at startup, you should start the trace utility prior to launching WebFOCUS App Studio.
To generate traces for a failure to connect to a Data Server or to determine why applications are not listed, you should start and enable the trace at the point prior to performing the task that fails.
