dfc tracing in 6.5

kdomen

we have a highly customized dfc app that runs as a plugin in Jive.

I'm trying to turn on dfc.tracing and here's what I have in dfc.properties:

dfc.tracing.enable=true
dfc.tracing.date="dd MM yyyy HH:mm:ss"
dfc.tracing.verbose=true
dfc.tracing.max_stack_depth=0
dfc.tracing.include_rpcs=true
dfc.tracing.mode=compact
dfc.tracing.dir=/nike/dfc-data/bnxcs/logs

It creates the log dfctracing log file in the tracing dir but there is no logging in it.

Is there something else that needs to be done?

tomcat@cambnxd3:/nike/dfc-data/bnxcs/logs$ ll

first thing I would check is that you definitely have the correct dfc.proper ties (although the fact that a log file is created suggests you have).

secondly are you definitely executing dfc calls? sounds silly but worth considering.

thirdly try taking out all the lines except dfc.tracing.enable. This should run a trace with the default parameters. Does it generate any entries? If so start adding back in the trace parameters. Maybe there is a problem with them.

fourth, you could try setting the tracing at runtime using something like JConsole - allthe dfc properties are exposed as JMX beans. You would need to start the jvm with the correct parameters which I can't recall off the top of my head but at least you can see that the properties are set correctly.

Other than that it really should work. I've never had a problem getting it to work possibly you need to raise a support call to check whether it is a platform specific bug.
