Setting up Rolling Traces
Release: 12.x 21.x
Product: Automic Workload Automation
Detailed Description and Symptoms:
Trace files can become quite large when left on for a long period of time. Setting a Rolling Trace from an Event will make those files more manageable.
Solution: Rolling Traces via Event
These will roll traces over every x minutes. The upper part is for an executor, lower is for WPs and/or CPs.
The following are the instructions to turn on a rolling trace via a time event:
In the Process tab, put the following; this will turn the trace on when the event is activated:
Agent:
!Set a TCP/IP=9 trace on the Agent - <Agent Name> needs to change to reflect actual executor
!Turn on tracing
:SET_UC_SETTING SET_TRACE, "<Agent Name>", "9000000000000000"
WP/CP:
!Set a DB=4 and TCP/IP=2 trace on the WPs
!Get System Name
:SET &TRC# = GET_UC_SYSTEM_NAME()
!Turn on tracing for WPs
:SET_UC_SETTING SET_TRACE, &TRC#, "2400000000000000"
!Turn on tracing for single CP - Before # sign is the System name, after # sign is CPxxx where xxx is the CP number
:SET_UC_SETTING SET_TRACE, "<SYSTEM>#<CPXXX>", "2400000000000000"
In the Process Event tab (called !Process in some older versions), put the following; this will turn the traces repeatedly every x minutes where x is the amount of time you specified in the Event tab:
Agent:
!Turn off tracing
:SET_UC_SETTING SET_TRACE, "<Agent Name>", "0000000000000000"
!Turn on tracing
:SET_UC_SETTING SET_TRACE, "<Agent Name>", "9000000000000000"
WP/CP:
!Get System Name
:SET &TRC# = GET_UC_SYSTEM_NAME()
!Turn off tracing on WPs
:SET_UC_SETTING SET_TRACE, &TRC#, "0000000000000000"
!Turn off tracing on single CP
:SET_UC_SETTING SET_TRACE, "<SYSTEM>#<CPXXX>", "0000000000000000"
!Turn on tracing for WPs
:SET_UC_SETTING SET_TRACE, &TRC#, "2400000000000000"
!Turn on tracing for single CP - Before # sign is the System name, after # sign is CPxxx where xxx is the CP number
:SET_UC_SETTING SET_TRACE, "<SYSTEM>#<CPXXX>", "2400000000000000"
Start your event when necessary and the traces will roll over. This helps maximize the amount of tracing while minimizing the amount of hard drive space necessary.
