CORBA 2.3.3 Programmer's Guide for Java

designed so that more than one process can write trace information to a trace file.
The configuration database specifies the file to which the trace facility writes. By default, the trace facility writes to
stdout. If a trace message is generated before org.omg.CORBA.ORB.init() is called, the trace facility also
writes to stdout. You can change the location either by using the Console or by using the cfgmgt tool.
Information Collected in a Trace
Each time a trace message is generated, the trace facility writes the following information to the trace file:
Trace message date and time●
Process name and process ID that produced the trace message●
Thread ID●
Trace data provided by you●
Although most of this information is provided by the system, you must supply a specific trace message. This message
helps to determine where in the code the trace message was generated.
Categories of Tracing
NonStop CORBA provides tracing for a number of components. In general, you should enable tracing for the smallest
set of components that allow you to locate the problem area. The sections that follow provide recommended trace
settings. Table 53 shows the available trace settings. In the first column, the name of the environment variable is given.
The second column shows the corresponding database key. The third column briefly describes the trace output to
expect.
