# Enable Message Tracing on a Message

You can enable tracing on individual messages by setting the `JMS_TIBCO_MSG_TRACE` property on the message.

The value of the property can be either null (Java/.NET null or NULL in C) or the string "body". Setting the property to null specifies only the message ID and message sequence will be included in the trace entries for the message. Setting the property to "body" specifies the message body will be included in the trace entries for the message.

When the `JMS_TIBCO_MSG_TRACE` property is set for a message, trace entries are generated for the message as it is processed, regardless of whether the `trace` property is set for any destinations the message passes through. Trace messages are generated for the message when it is sent by the producer and when it is received by the consumer.
