traceoptions (Extensions)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Trace options for extension-service applications. You can set the traceoptions statement for the application level or for the file script-name level or for both. If the traceoptions statement is set for both the application and file script-name levels, the latter will have a higher priority.

Note:

Global traceoptions for daemonized applications do not take effect if the daemonized application and global traceoptions are committed separately

Options

file

Indicate trace file information.

filename

Name of the file to receive the tracing operation output. Enclose the name in quotation marks. Traceoption output files are located in the /var/log/ directory.

files number

(Optional) Specify maximum number of trace files.

  • Range: 2 through 1000

  • Default: 3

size size

(Optional) Specify the maximum size of each trace file. When a trace file named trace-file reaches its maximum size, it is renamed trace-file.0. The traceoption output continues in a second trace file named trace-file.1. When trace-file.1 reaches its maximum size, output continues in a third file named trace-file.2, and so on. When the maximum number of trace files is reached, the oldest trace file is overwritten.
