Enable Message Tracing for a Destination
The trace property on a destination specifies that trace entries are generated for that destination.
The trace property can optionally be specified as trace=body. Setting trace=body includes the message body in trace messages. The EMS server prints up to one kilobyte of a message string field, and up to a total message size of 8 KB. The trace message indicates if the full message is not printed.
Setting trace without the body option specifies that only the message sequence and message ID are included in the trace message.
When message tracing is enabled for a destination, a trace entry is output for each of the following events that occur in message processing:
- messages are received into a destination
- messages are sent to consumers
- messages are imported or exported to/from an external system
- messages are acknowledged
- messages are sent across a destination bridge
- messages are routed
Replies to request messages are traced only when the reply destination has the trace property. Similarly, replies to exported messages are only traced when the trace property is set.
