Overview


Trace messages provide information about adapter activities. The messages are logged to the console where the runtime adapter was started and to a log file. Trace messages can also be redirected to the TIBCO Hawk Display application, or sent to other applications using the TIBCO Rendezvous transport.

Each trace message can include the following fields:

 
<Timestamp> <Adapter Identifier> <Role> <Category> <Status Code> 
<Tracking Identifier>  

The above fields are explained in Trace Message Fields. The following diagram shows an example trace message and calls out the fields.

Example Trace Messages

The following trace messages were written during a session where TIBCO Adapter for COM received an object from an application, then processed the object.

The first message indicates that TIBCO Adapter for COM has started. The timestamp indicates when the adapter started, and the role indicates that the trace message is informational, which means the activity is normal for the adapter. The category is identified, and the corresponding status code is displayed. The status code indicates that the adapter started successfully.

The next set of trace messages indicates the adapter received an object that was sent on the TIBCO Rendezvous subject, TIBCOCOM.Operation2.Testobj1.1. The #746--4--CzfX7kb2-/Nazzw4D-zzw# tracking identifier included in the trace message uniquely identifies the message. The application from which the message originated provided the identifier.
