Resolution
1. Locate the FederationTrace.conf file under C:\Program Files\CA\secure-proxy\proxy-engine\conf\defaultagent\
2. Make a copy of the file before modifying it.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the file page, and you will see the following data fields:
components: Fed_Client, Srca
data: Date, Time, Pid, Tid, TransactionID, SrcFile, Function, Message
These are the fields that appear in the FWSTrace.log.
4. Copy the line that starts with data:. Paste it under the original line, then add # in front of the original. It should like this:
components: Fed_Client, Srca
#data: Date, Time, Pid, Tid, TransactionID, SrcFile, Function, Message
data: Date, Time, Pid, Tid, TransactionID, SrcFile, Function, Message
5. You can now modify the data line without the #. For example, if I want to exclude the Pid (process ID) and Tid (thread ID), I would remove Pid and Tid from the second line:
components: Fed_Client, Srca
#data: Date, Time, Pid, Tid, TransactionID, SrcFile, Function, Message
data: Date, Time,TransactionID, SrcFile, Function, Message
6. Save the file.
7. Stop, and then Start, the following Services:
- CA Access Gateway Engine
- CA Access Gateway Proxy
8. Open your FWSTrace.log, to see your modifications.
