level.

Device Manager CLI message trace file

A message trace file is output if the Device Manager CLI -t (or --messagetrace) option is specified.

Recorded communications, including request messages sent to and responses received from the Device

Manager server, are output to the MessageTrace.log file in the Device Manager CLI execution

directory or folder. In the properties file, you can specify the output destination and the file name .

TIP:

If message tracing is enabled, each time an application is executed, the message trace file is overwritten

with a request and its response. The request is the same as the character string submitted to the server

via HTTP. The response is the character string read from the Device Manager server via HTTP before

analysis. The message destination file does not contain multiple requests and responses.
