Issue/Introduction
Error Message : N/A
After deactivating trace options set for the CP's the tracing is not stopped although the tracing is turned off. The Automation Engine has the trace files still in use and writes some information to the Trace file.
Investigation
Example:
Set a trace on a system for one CP similar to this: TCP/IP=2 and DB=4
Wait a bit and then set the trace flags back to something like this TCP/IP=0 and DB=0 and apply the changes
Now execute a simple script or start an Agent
The trace file will now includes this information although the tracing was turned off prior to the activity in step 3.
Results
Expected: The Trace file is finished, no longer in use by a Worker Process (WP) and not extended with information after the tracing is turned off
Actual:The Trace file is finished, however, it is still in use by a Worker Process (WP) and information is added to the files although the tracing is turned off
Cause
Cause type: Defect Root Cause: Trace for CP is still written, even if it is turned off.
