client_trace

Administrators can trace a connection or group of connections. When this property is enabled, the server instructs each client to generate trace output for opening or closing a connection, message activity, and transaction activity. This type of tracing does not require restarting the client program. 

client_trace = {enabled|disabled} [target=location]
               [user|connid|clientid=value]

Each client sends trace output to location, which may be either stderr (the default) or stdout.

Note: You can also direct client tracing output to a file, using the tibems_SetTraceFile, Tibjms.setTraceFile and Tibems.SetTraceFile in the C, Java and .NET libraries, respectively.

The default behavior is to trace all connections. You can specify either user, connid or clientid to selectively trace specific connections. The value can be a user name or ID (as appropriate).

Setting this parameter using the administration tool does not change its value in the configuration file tibemsd.conf; that is, the value does not persist across server restarts unless you set it in the configuration file.
